RAPID learns latest lessons and recognises successes

Inconsistent approaches and challenges with prescribed timetabling were the two most common challenges highlighted by RAPID in its second ‘lessons learnt’ document.

The Regulators Alliance for Progressing Infrastructure Development last week published lessons from gate one and accelerated gate two, in its activities to advance strategic water resource solutions. This supplemented its March 2021 lessons learnt document from accelerated gate one.

The intention is to use the learnings to improve future gated processes.

RAPID also noted feedback that its work had “resulted in positive changes and opportunities across the industry. The provision of platforms to showcase new and innovative approaches, enhanced collaborative working and increased insight into issues faced across the sector were all cited as areas which have progressed.

"The gated process is seen to have provided forward momentum for solutions which had previously been labelled as too ambitious or technically challenging. The increased collaboration across different regions has resulted in a collective sense of working towards a common goal.”
