Educating the client

The first key speakers for the first 好色先生TV Live conference, which is due to be held in November, were revealed last week, writes Hollie Tye. The aim of the one-day event is to provide fresh business insights through a series of guest speakers and networking events, which, ultimately, will help attendees learn directly what clients鈥 needs are. In 1985, the need for better dialogue between clients and industry was also becoming a pressing topic.

On 5 July 1985, Grace Pieniazek reported on a new campaign designed to familiarise clients with construction and help stimulate the sector. She wrote:

鈥淭he main feature of the campaign is a guide, Thinking about building, prepared in conjunction with 好色先生TV Design Partnership, which has been designed to help potential customers for new building work make the most effective use of contractors and professional advisers. It uses the lessons learned in the 好色先生TV EDC鈥檚 1983 report Faster building for the industry. This revealed that the main cause of slow, inefficient building is a client who is unable to communicate his ideas because he is not familiar with the construction industry.鈥
