Colin Bell

Colin Bell is Digital and Data Director at Kier Construction. In Morta's Kier content, where he appeared as Digital Construction Director, Colin described responsibility for information management, digital construction, data and reporting.

His contribution focuses on the organisational side of digital delivery: taking learning from strategic projects, simplifying it for regional teams and creating consistent information that can support decisions at project and business level. He treats technology as an enabler within a behavioural programme. Standards need clear ownership, but they also need to give people something back. Colin described Kier's responsibility matrix as a WIIFM model that connects each person's contribution with a useful return, and described dashboards as a way for different roles to reach information that matters to them. His wider emphasis is on connected data, visible performance and using project and supply-chain information to inform future decisions without losing the people behind the process.
