The IDP Community

Anchor 1

Are you an SME/Micro-business owner working in the construction industry supply chain?

How would you like to be part of a first-of-its kind, fully-funded initiative to collaborate and help come up with solutions to improve productivity, expand procurement opportunities and increase your profit margins?

You could also be chosen to be 1 of 40 Innovation Champions to undertake an innovation project in your business and receive 12 hrs free coaching / mentoring. This could be to improve a site-based activity, a business process or an initiative to increase procurement opportunities and demonstrate the value you bring to a project.

The IDP Community is managed by our Delivery Partner Construction Coach where all members will get access to free, weekly mentoring calls. You will also get the opportunity to network in a Facebook-style platform with fellow Business Owners to learn from each other’s experiences. This is a collaborative way of learning and an opportunity to break out of your silos.

Why get involved?

Our industry is fast-paced and challenging. You are constantly juggling resources to meet Client demands and there is little time to learn from previous projects.

Added to this you are battling inflation, energy price increases and materials and labour shortages.

This community is here to support you
