Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. Rebuilding the Engine: Reclaiming 166 billion through agentic AI and institutional reformThe definitive executive guide to solving the UK's infrastructure productivity crisis and the transition to a Learning State.The United Kingdom faces a structural challenge: despite a massive 725 billion infrastructure pipeline, national delivery is stalled by a 40% cost premium compared to our international peers. In Rebuilding the Engine, Alex Mahon identifies the root cause not as a lack of capital, but as a systemic cognitive deficit. The hollowing out of public sector capability has created an ecosystem without a system - a fragmented landscape where regulators, operators and investors are trapped in a high-friction cycle of risk aversion and institutional amnesia. This book provides a high-level strategic manual for the deployment of Agentic AI - artificial intelligence designed to perceive, reason and act - to bridge these silos and restore national sovereign capability. A strategic framework for executive leadership: The Institutional Memory Agent (IMA): Restoring the intelligent client by capturing decades of project data to prevent the repetition of expensive historical mistakes.The Planning Orchestrator Agent (POA): Overcoming systemic fragmentation by automating parallel regulatory approvals and managing complex cross-sector dependencies.The Design Intelligence Agent (DIA): Transitioning from bespoke prototypes to a manufacturing model via a National Design Genome of standardised, pre-approved components.The Risk and Accountability Agent (RAA): Replacing opaque, defensive reporting with real-time, automated assurance to align incentives between project partners.The Investment and Finance Agent (IFA): Dismantling the ambiguity premium by translating operational performance into verifiable financial metrics to lower the Weighted Average Cost of Capital (WACC).Impact and implementation: 166.75 billion efficiency prize: A data-driven business case for reducing the UK capital programme inefficiency premium.Governance and the Teal Book: Aligning with the National Infrastructure and Service Transformation Authority (NISTA) to reintegrate strategy and delivery.Workforce augmentation: A 5-year roadmap to evolve public servants from process administrators to strategic outcome owners.The Learning State: Shifting from a reporting state that audits failure after the fact, to an institution engineered for proactive, compounding success.Rebuilding the Engine is the manual for any executive, official, investor or operator seeking to engineer the future of our infrastructure sector.
