Strategy
Our Business Plan 2016-2020, Profit with Purpose, outlines the strategic direction that will take
Skanska to the next level. The aim is to increase shareholder value while working toward a more
sustainable future for employees, customers and communities. This is how Skanska creates Profit
with Purpose.
Generating value for shareholders
We must create shareholder value in a responsible way and contribute to society at large. Given
the business we are in and our size of our operations, we can have a considerable and positive
impact on society as part of our profitable business. It is not about doing one or the other; it is
about doing both at the same time. Profit is needed to deliver on Purpose; and a strong Purpose
will contribute to our Profit.
Great People: To remain successful we need to offer a place to work with dedicated
colleagues in an open and high-performance culture with sound values. A company that
fosters collaboration and development, an organization where very employee has a strong
passion to deliver results and contribute to Profit with Purpose.
Market Making: We will strive to engage in a structured and enhanced long-term
collaboration with our customers, as well as our suppliers and subcontractors. A
collaboration based on a close dialog, common vision and trust.
Operational Excellence: Continuous improvement is required if we are to strengthen our
results and operations efficiency. This is true in all parts of the process - from risk
assessment and tendering to planning and execution. Increased digitalization and
automation as well as a careful review of resource consumption are important aspects of
reducing implementation costs.
Our role
The Research & Innovation function is the corporate hub for technical expertise and technical
knowledge transfer between the various Skanska units.
What we do
The function provides technical input to Skanska's risk management process in order to reduce
risk in relation to complex structures, potential systemic faults and the use of new materials. It
also provides technical support for problem solving and claims resolution, working through a
coordinated internal and external network of experts.
In addition, the function leads the research and innovation activities in Skanska, striving to find
new technical solutions and also more efficient ways of working. Innovation is needed in order
to respond to current and future needs and to stay competitive. Through innovation Skanska
identifies and develops new technical products, services and processes, improving its
competitiveness and creating increased value for Skanska and its clients.
A large part of the year's work focused on supporting Skanska's 2016–2020 business plan with
technology, particularly in the area of Operational Excellence. During 2016, technical focus
areas within Skanska included Building Information Modeling (BIM), automation and robotics,
autonomous vehicles, industrialization, materials, drones, 3D printing, energy, energy storage as
well as other focus areas such as climate change, sustainability and safety.
Skanska actively collaborates with around 25 universities in its home markets and currently has
six adjunct professors working in the areas of energy, concrete, tunneling, bridges and climate
adaption.
