Goal 7 - Innovation & Knowledge Management Goal Description: Cultivate a culture of innovation by establishing a knowledge-sharing platform and implementing training programs, encouraging employee-submitted ideas, and sharing knowledge. ETSD will cultivate an innovation culture through a department-wide framework, knowledge-sharing platform, and employee training programs, while identifying opportunities for governance, process, and AI implementation. Q1 2024 Highlights & Progress: - Established the Innovation Management function at ETSD to foster an innovation culture. - In collaboration with our consultant TUVR, we have successfully implemented an advanced concrete sensor technology, which monitors the temperature and strength of concrete during and after the pouring process. The insights will ensure the quality and integrity of our construction and contribute to enhancing efficiency. For instance, the data provided by SmartRock allows for more informed decisions regarding formwork removal and post- tensioning operations. Given the pilot’s promising results, we plan to integrate SmartRock technology into the Lake Dam project. This initiative is crucial given the extensive use of concrete and the continuous pouring required for the dam. - We are enhancing the inspection processes by adopting helmet-mounted cameras, like the RealWear 520, for safe and efficient inspections, particularly in hard-to-reach areas. The trial in the Gulf of Aqaba showed the technology to be lightweight, ergonomic, and effective in improving remote connectivity and video quality, offering significant safety, productivity, and cost savings advantages. Goal 8 - Training Development Goal Description: Ensure self and team access and attendance to key development opportunities. ETSD is committed to continuous learning by offering skills-based training, fostering knowledge- sharing platforms, and encouraging participation in industry events to enhance employee expertise, understanding of AI applications, and professional growth opportunities. Q1 2024 Highlights & Progress: - ETSD is developing a roadmap for an ETSD-driven academy to build capacity and enhance knowledge sharing related to Projects Governance.
