[edit] What is State of the Nation?
ICE produces a State of the Nation (SoN) report each year, focusing on a topic that affects the UK's infrastructure and economy. The report makes recommendations for industry to tackle a different issue each year.
[edit] What is the topic of this year's State of the Nation?
This year's topic is on improving infrastructure productivity, a key theme for ICE President Ed McCann's presidency.
[edit] When will State of the Nation 2022 be launched?
The report will be published in October 2022.
[edit] Who contributes to State of the Nation?
ICE works closely with a steering group, led by the productivity community advisory board (CAB), made up of experts across the built environment to develop the report.
The productivity CAB is co-chaired by Andy Alder, vice president of major projects and programmes at Jacobs, and Darren James, chief executive of Keltbray.
The full list of productivity CAB members can be found in the downloadable State of the Nation 2022 working paper below.
