Liverpool Best Practice Club – Social media in construction

Speaker: Matt Tucker, senior lecturer in facilities management, Liverpool John Moores University

Poor communication is often at the root of many construction problems, failures and misunderstandings. And yet never before have we had such easy, ubiquitous and even free access to a range of options for communicating, sharing, learning and collaborative working.

Collectively known as social media these options allow people to converse with each other, exchange and share stuff. This is a very different world from the one-way media of websites, newsletters, even emails, and changes the way we interact, at personal, organisational and inter-organisational levels.

Matt Tucker, improvement and social media advocate, will illustrate how social media can be and is being used by the construction industry.
