This allows the application of manufacturing techniques and processes, with consistent quality achieved, as well as facilitating greater economies of scale..

We need to understand who is affected by it and its solution.This allows us to identify the stakeholders and what they value.

We then determine with our client – and key stakeholders – what the high level aspects are of a solution that would solve this problem.That might sound a bit trivial, but the point is that the solution is almost never a building by itself.A building is a system that, together with other systems, realises the value that matters to client and stakeholders..

In the case of the prison transformation project we worked on, this meant that there were two key components to the solution: the people that work in the prison and the building that allows them to do what they need to do in order to help prisoners in their rehabilitation journey.In the case of a pharmaceutical plant it is the different value-adding steps of the overall process and the interface with people who operate that process and the utilities required for that process..

The most important thing during these initial workshops is to keep an open mind.

Rather than tabling a design solution too early and possibly forcing the conversation to a preconceived solution, we encourage stakeholders to speak freely about what matters to them.This realistic assessment of asset performance allows us to incorporate feedback, reduce risk, and enhance efficiency from the outset.. Understanding Chip Thinking®.

Chip Thinking® is a systematic approach to dissecting the critical components of a data centre facility.By methodically breaking down these elements, we unlock insights that drive design improvements and performance optimisation.

Our unique modelling and analytics team—comprising architects, engineers, mathematical modellers, software coders, and data analysts—creates a strategic way of thinking and working that brings information to life.. Data aggregation + analysis.The diagram above shows the process of using Chip Thinking® to elicit and capture stakeholder requirements at a range of scales, from a single component up to site deployment.. Chips serve as a unified knowledge hub where all data and stakeholder insights converge, providing a comprehensive understanding for everyone involved.
