On cognitive readiness in construction decision making

Abstract

Cognitive readiness (CR) in construction is the mental, emotional and interpersonal skills that relate to the way project teams perceive, remember, think, speak and solve problems. CR compliments the necessary technical and contextual competences, and is necessary for making appropriate decisions in real-world problems. The investigation of cognitive enablers and barriers as well as their prioritization, adaptation and implementation in construction projects is the subject ofthe work described here.
