Andrew champions collaboration in complex environments, focusing on optimising organisational structures and processes for success. An architect with extensive previous international strategic and project delivery experience, he now helps teams collaborate more effectively, and works with multi-partner infrastructure teams to develop holistic organisational strategies.When analysing organisational architectures, Andrew found that few organisations appreciate the need for a comprehensive organisational strategy before key partners assemble. A single holistic strategy showing in advance how partners will operate together creates the optimum environment for later delivery partners. Large infrastructure projects are dynamic enterprises where change is inevitable; by sketching out organisational evolution in advance, Andrew has helped several large initiatives efficiently address both their immediate and future organisational needs.Building on his award-winning architectural experience and illustrative skills, his powerful visual approach has been deployed on successful engagements on UK projects and programmes including Southern Renewals Enterprise (rail), Lower Thames Crossing (highways), Sellafield PPP (nuclear), National Grid (energy), water companies and others.Andrew’s work on masterplanning and building design projects in the UK and Ireland led to him becoming passionate about how teams operate. In 2015, Andrew founded Constructive Collaboration (CC). In addition to its organisational strategy expertise, CC has developed processes and associated software to enable effective collaboration in practice.Developed with industry for industry, the unique evidential CC process combines digital tools with people processes to enable teams to measure and visualise their collaborative environment. The process helps team to efficiently engage and then pinpoint and agree where and how they can improve and deliver better outcomes. It has delivered collaboration services to Heathrow Airport, Anglian Water, Network Rail, HS2, Gatwick Station, and the Social Value Portal, among others, with project values ranging from £20m to £7.5bn.Prior to establishing CC, Andrew was a RIBA architect at Richard Rogers Partnership (now RSHP) for eight years leading a team that championed integrated sustainable solutions in the UK, Japan, France and Spain. A former Young Architect of the Year and the first Architectural Fellow of the National Endowment of Science and Technology (NESTA), he established Andrew Wright Associates in 1997.
