Episode Description from the Publisher

What if we completely rethought the way we build? What if the places where we live and work helped cut emissions, and we could drastically improve energy efficiency with a new kind of construction? What if most construction wasn’t even done on-site? These changes, some of them already underway today by businesses establishing new kinds of partnerships, are redefining an age-old industry.   In this episode of our special Take on Tomorrow series, hosts Lizzie O’Leary and Femi Oke speak to Emanuel Heisenberg, CEO and founder of Ecoworks, about how adding a “second skin” to existing structures could revolutionize their use in ways that are good for the planet and the pocketbook. Plus, Greg Oberti, a partner in Capital Projects & Infrastructure at PwC Canada, explains the kinds of cross-industry partnerships being forged and how new opportunities are taking shape that will create value in the decade ahead.  Take on Tomorrow is brought to you by strategy+business, a PwC publication © 2025 PwC.
