As part of our goal of providing cutting edge training to current & future industry leaders, the Laing O’Rourke Centre is currently delivering a two week bespoke Executive Education Programme, The Future of Construction, to 18 senior Lendlease Construction Directors based and working on projects around the world.
Delivered by some of Cambridge University’s leading experts in the field, the sessions focus on some of the big topics currently facing the construction sector: the construction industry’s ability to deliver – challenging the status quo; strategic development; corporate risk; the future of skills and the labour force; and sustainability and resilience.
The sessions include:
