For organizations experiencing rapid change, the key to surviving (and thriving) is to anticipate how changing strategies and business models will alter what they need from the workforce.
Many organizations facing disruption will need a new strategy in order to survive. But to be successful, they need to make sure they have the right workforce to deliver.
Demand is outstripping supply in engineering based organizations in many countries across the globe. To attract, retain and engage the right workforce for the future, organizations will need to map their future workforce requirements, become an employer of choice and offer long term career prospects.
As engineering redirects its attention from solutions to services, leaders will require qualities that go beyond technical proficiency and include a more people-focused approach.
Success in infrastructure projects often relies on overcoming the gap in alignment, thinking, and operating between engineering and project delivery functions. To close the gap, leaders need to put effective measures in place to better integrate and align their project organization.
