Description
Summary:"Using the broken UK housing sector as a case study, Mike Siebert applies a Systems Thinking approach to tackling some of the Wicked Problems faced by an industry that urgently needs to boost its productivity levels, build more sustainably, more affordably, and generally improve its working practices.
