HS2 kicks off its learning legacy

HS2 has appointed EY to develop its corporate Knowledge Management strategy including defining its learning legacy programme. As part of the wider knowledge sharing strategy the learning legacy programme seeks to capture knowledge from Phase 1 for sharing with Phase 2 and, where applicable, the wider industry.

HS2 is the first project planning to set up a learning legacy at this project initiation and development stage. Crossrail 2 will surely have a lot to benefit from this open sharing approach.

HS2 takes the tally of major projects’ learning legacies to three. Will Tideway follow in their footsteps soon?

It’s great to hear that HS2 are making plans for a learning legacy at this early stage. The only concern I have is that if HS2, Tideway and Crossrail 2 all develop their own learning legacy platforms that this will lead to duplicated effort – could the MPA Knowledge Hub become the platform of choice to host the learning from all of these projects?

I’m also very pleased to hear about HS2 plans in this area, and would particularly recommend they capture learnings from their parliamentary process now, while teams are still in place.

@Stephen – certainly Crossrail is involved with development of the Knowledge Hub for that precise reason.

watch this space for our Tideway plans…..we’re looking to also build from the Crossrail and MPA hub work

Hopefully HS2 are tapped into the MPA KH development and will benefit from the learning and plan accordingly

On Tuesday I attended the first forum and then launch of the i3P platform that will link the innovation programmes for Crossrail and Tideway, and hopefully go on to include other major projects and tier one suppliers. There is still a lot to think about to in order to ensure it works and is used by everyone, but this first step looks very slick. Good words at the launch from Andrew Wolstenholme and Andrew Mitchell – looking forward at getting Laing O’Rourke properly plugged into this, and also seeing how we can enable a great interface with HS2.
