Daniel Cook, RICS<\/p><\/div>\n

The new RICS report, Our Changing World: Let\u2019s Be Ready,<\/i> which will be released today at the RICS 2015 Summit of the Americas conference in Los Angeles, is a \u201croadmap\u201d to help the surveying industry keep up with changes and prepare for the future of the profession.<\/p>\n

The document is the result of three years of research, events and discussions with more than 400 industry professionals around the world, said Daniel Cook, one of the authors of the 76-page report and director of strategy and planning for the Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors, a global organization with more than 118,000 members.<\/p>\n

What became clear, he said, is that there will be unprecedented global change over the next 15 years and the industry\u2019s stakeholders must start preparing for it now.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe identified a really long list of actions we should be considering going forward,\u201d Cook told Commercial Property Executive <\/i>during a break at the summit being held at the Millennium Biltmore Hotel Los Angeles. \u201cWe are actually going to try to use this as a catalyst for change.\u201d<\/p>\n

The report highlights six areas of action for the industry: winning the war for talent, making ethics central to professional behavior, creating successful and sustainable future cities, embracing technology and data, helping the surveying industry tackle new opportunities and developing strong leadership.<\/p>\n

RICS CEO Sean Tompkins said in a news release that the report aims to identify the implications of rapid change and stimulate debate among professionals in the built environment sector as well as other sectors.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe recognize that we cannot not achieve this alone, it\u2019s about collaboration \u2013 this report is an open invitation for firms, organizations and individuals who want to help ensure our sector is fit for future generations,\u201d Tompkins said.<\/p>\n

Cook said the subject of ethics consistently generated conversation throughout numerous discussions with stakeholders around the world.<\/p>\n

\u201cA lady who was engaged with us in the Brazilian market told us, \u2018You can have the best measurements and valuation standards in the world, but if the people applying them are not ethical, we\u2019ve got a major problem,\u2019 \u201d Cook said.<\/p>\n

Competing for talent and engaging the next generation were also raised as important issues during the research period, Cook told CPE<\/i>.<\/p>\n

\u201cOur sector will need to invest more in its people and new skills. Boosting leadership, innovation, ethics, sustainability and commercial acumen will help our sector be able to adapt and succeed as business models, technology and societal expectations change,\u201d Cook said in the news release. \u201cWith the rise in use of tools such as Building Information Modeling increasing our capacity to collect and share data, new technology emerging in both our built and natural environments such as the Internet of Things and 3D printing, standing still is not an option. Professions like ours, educators and firms will need to change to embrace roles and skills that have not even been imagined today in the period to 2030.\u201d<\/p>\n

RICS Global President Louise Brooke-Smith said the report and the organization\u2019s Futures Project, which began in 2010, are \u201cneeded to respond to a modern and changing world.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s about remaining relevant as an organization and as a sector and ensuring we attract and retain the best talent,\u201d she said in the release.<\/p>\n
