Steven Boyd

I have enjoyed over 30 years working in the public sector with posts in the Ministry of Defence, HMRC and the Cabinet Office. In the Army, I led the in-house infrastructure project management consultancy and later was head of the British Army’s worldwide estate. I also ran the HMRC estate significantly reshaping it and most recently was the first full-time CEO of the Government Property Agency. My experience spans strategy, design, construction, fit out, handover and operations – and some measure of politics. I have learnt the value of strategic asset management and seen how this depends on good quality data. I am a strong advocate of ‘right to left’ thinking. We should understand the outcomes that we want and the decisions that we will need to take through the whole life of an asset. Understanding these decisions leads us to the data we need in operations, and working back from right to left, this should shape how we approach design and construction.
