8. Summary and Next Steps

Resources need to be put in place and a plan developed to move the priority initiatives ahead in 2018.

The plan would cover 2018 to 2025 and specify timing, dependencies, and resources for each initiative. It should also include a dashboard, or online tracking tool, so everyone can see progress measured against the plan.

The implementation of many of the Roadmap recommendations needs to begin in 2018. This process should focus on recommendations that have a long development cycle (e.g. the development of an accreditation program), and those that are clearly needed and don't require other recommendations to be completed first (e.g. the development of trades training). It is important that the industry starts to see real benefits from this work in 2018.
