2009 Programme
The programme's objective is to engage young potential managers in the
discussion of management issues, to develop new approaches, leadership
skills and intercultural understanding and to become acquainted with the
FIDIC activities through participation in the FIDIC Annual Conference. Programme contents
The programme has an initial Internet-based component over a seven-month period prior to the
FIDIC 2008 Quebec Conference. In connection with the conference, there will be two half-days sessions
prior to the conference, and final presentations with participation by all other conference
participants at conference workshops organized by the Young Professionals
Management Training Programme, in particular a Future Leaders Workshop. These workshops will offer a general discussion and sharing of ideas and findings.
The final outcome is a report for the programme. This report is normally
presented at the Future Leaders Workshop.
The programme is tailor-made to the consulting industry, and an experienced
senior consulting engineer acts as facilitator and is attached to the programme to secure timely progress and a high quality
for inputs and outputs. FIDIC has established a Mentor Board for supervising and reviewing
the programme.
Management topics will comprise some of the following types of issues:
Growth and profit
Development: new technologies, cultural changes, globalisation
Ownership structures: partnership, employee owned, quoted shareholding and others
Marketing of consulting services
Multicultural management: Business Integrity and Professional Services Agreements
As a starting point a number of thematic issues will be presented. Each issue will be debated by the participants over a given period,
generally six weeks. Participants will be encouraged to present their own cases as an input to the process. For each theme a conclusion should be reached, with a "light" monitoring by the facilitator.
Key words for the process are: taking leadership, strategy, global perspective, change management, international networking.
The participants will meet shortly before and during the FIDIC Conference to discuss the conclusions
reached. Furthermore, the facilitator is able to providing feed-back on the personal development
of each participant.

The number of participants in the FIDIC Young Professionals Management
Training Programme is limited to 45, in three teams of 15. Participants should preferably be under 35 years of age and have some prior management experience.

globalization".
