[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.
