Storm warnings for Arup as it flies in the face of obliquity

Article Abstract:

An article by John Kay offers an insight into the concept of obliquity, which suggests that we should resist the trend to focus solely on the provision of a narrow specialized client service, instead returning to the traditional pursuit of broad excellence. If the theory is correct then the world class engineering group, Arup, that has focused excellence for more than 50 years is under threat as obliquity gives them a warning.

Article Abstract:

The possible solutions to avoid delay in planning is to change the mindset of planning from one of development control to one of development design such as identifying areas of opportunity for new buildings constructed to new densities.
