This book investigates best practice across sectors of the economy and their transfers into the context of construction. It examines the development and diffusion of innovation to address adversarial relationships, and the fragmented processes and lack of customer focus, which still characterises much of the industry.It explains how construction must respond to the raft of new management processes expounded throughout the last decade systematically in a bid to acheive a more appropriate approach for business innovation in construction.

The Sky Full of Stars is the first volume in the Stars Trilogy. Set in a mini ice age following a Middle Eastern nuclear war, a hostile theocratic European regime called the Gaians are determined to wipe Democracy from the Earth forever.Only the development of a new Star Drive technology, and the actions of a small group of pilots can stem their thirst for dominance. But will the price be too great for even the once mighty States and Provinces of a United North America or even the world? When even the pilots themselves become the most precious resource?Laced throughout with the authors characteristic dark humour, this volume is the genesis of a decade spanning and epic tale of war and personal redemption.

Falling through the stars, the second volume in the decade spanning epic Stars Trilogy builds upon the themes expounded in The Sky full of Stars, where the Gaian threat is now neutralised, and North America reigns supreme. Although not quite. In the free trade enclave of the Vancouver Republic built from post catastrophe Vancouver, Vancouver Island and Seattle, free traders branch out to the stars. Blockade running becomes the new career option for disgraced pilots like Richard Windsor. Colonies and bases abandoned during the Gaian war openly and covertly secede. Deals are made, Presidents assassinated, and ruthless assassins stalk an exile for his epigenetically altered live DNA. This is the galaxy of the Stars Trilogy, where mankind is the alien, and the universe the prize.
