Constructing You Elinor Moshe The construction and property industries are people industries, after all. Except, typically when we look at our built form, and ask, 'who built this?', the answer is a name of a company.But who are the people behind the projects, who are the ones who have brought them to life? That's why my multiple award-winning podcast, Constructing You, looks at the people behind the projects, and I'm starting at the top.

Modern agile methods are defined by four guiding principles: Make People Awesome; Make Safety a Prerequisite; Experiment and Learn Rapidly and Deliver Value Continuously. World famous organizations like Google, Amazon, AirBnB, Etsy and others are living proof of the power of these four principles. However, you don’t need to be a name brand company to leverage modern agile wisdom.
