Abstract
It is important to recognize that this publication merely records the results of the work of the many CII volunteers who have contributed to the research, implementation, education, benchmarking, and process industries practices programs. Their effort has created the record. This record of improvement must be recognized, as well, to be the result of the vision and leadership of the founding Director of CII, Dr. Richard L. Tucker.
This assessment, while impressive, is really only the beginning. Major opportunities to improve the construction industry remain, and I believe CII can be the leader in achieving future progress.
Key Findings
Consistent with its original objective, CII continues to be primarily a research organization. In its first 15 years, the Institute developed effective approaches to the identification of research topics and for the accomplishment of its research involving both representatives of its members and academia. All research has inherent risks and not all is successful. Given the nature of the industry, however, this assessment concludes that the CII research effort has been highly successful and has provided the foundation for effective CII implementation support and education programs.
