<br><br><br> 2014 FIDIC GAMA Annual Conference:<br><br> Local Involvement in Major Projects for<br><br> Sustainability<br><br><br><br> successfully. This point was illustrated through a<br> soccer team analogy. Examples of programmes<br> around the world are available. These demonstrated<br> that other regions and countries are adapting their<br> training of engineers in order to ensure their local<br> firms have access to engineering leadership talent.<br> A specific example is the Gordon-MIT Engineering<br> Leadership Programme. This programme combines<br> the engineering education from one of the premier<br> engineering schools in the world with leadership<br> development from MIT’s Sloan Business School, also<br> a world class business education institution.<br><br> Research carried out by the Gordon-MIT institution in<br> 2007-2008 revealed that at the time there were no<br> CESA representatives attended the GAMA conference programmes in Africa providing leadership education<br> in Maputo, Mozambique (23-26 March 2014). The specifically designed for the engineering sector.<br> GAMA Conference is the biggest annual networking In the time since that study there have likely been<br> event for consulting engineers in Africa. It is a forum developments in this regard across the continent.<br> where various entities share and exchange ideologies One example of a programme developed to address<br> and methodologies for the provision of consulting this is the CESA Business of Consulting Engineering<br> engineering services. The conference theme: “Local Programme that has been in existence for 2 years.<br> Involvement in Major Projects for Sustainability” It provides exposure to the functional competencies<br> provides an opportunity for the delegates to discuss required over the entire project lifecycle with significant<br> the role of the African Engineers and the contribution emphasis on the business aspects.

In order to grow the competitiveness of African<br> FIDIC-GAMA 2014 Annual Conference on the topic consulting engineering firms, world class technical<br> of the need for leadership development in the African ability needs to be coordinated and deployed through<br> Consulting Engineering Industry. One of the themes world class business leadership.<br> for the conference was “Competition and Cooperation<br> between Local and Foreign Companies” and this is<br> informed his presentation.<br><br> The new reality is that there is now global competition<br> for engineering consulting work on the continent. In<br> order to be competitive African consulting firms need<br> world class human capital. A lot of focus has been<br> placed on developing technical capacity in terms of<br> increasing skills and capabilities as well and numbers<br> of engineering professionals. One aspect that, in his<br> opinion, has been neglected is the need to develop<br> world class leaders for African engineering firms.<br><br> Technical capacity needs to be complemented with<br> leadership in order to position firms to compete<br><br><br><br><br><br> 13<br>
