Global characteristics

International market place for consulting engineering is becoming

more competitive:

• export-led recovery has given rise to many new players

seeking opportunities

• firms are becoming more international and their workforces

more multinational and mobile

• developing world is embracing knowledge intensive

professional services by leveraging technology and offering

low-cost solutions


Major Knowledge issues for the industry

Global Skills Shortage Looming – requires a new approach to

Capacity Building in ALL markets

• Professional development ongoing (institutes etc)

- technical skills

- ethics, sustainability, etc

• Business development (FIDIC & MAs)

- management skills, as well as integrity, sustainability, risk,

people management, finance etc


Consulting engineering as a strategic industry

• Consulting engineering firms have a profound effect on the natural

environment and society, and this gives them a strategic role in

understanding change and in providing solutions to adapt to new

scenarios

• Consulting engineers should have more influence in the definition of

the solutions to global problems

• Consulting engineers should aim at gaining visibility as a knowledge-

based industry. More than 50% of services are now non-technical.


Opportunities in the global market

• Global estimates for infrastructure spending requirements over

the next 25 years, more than $50 trillion

– Asia, excluding Japan, in the fast lane

– U.S. and Europe, in the slow lane


Leverage Knowledge to Grow the Industry
