LAING O'ROURKE 2016
The ENGINUITY Competition formed the basis of the module
"Leading a Business" in the final year of the Laing O'Rourke 3-year
Graduate Development Programme. It enabled the graduates to consolidate their learning and experience acquired
to date, and apply business acumen in a competitive simulation exercise designed to challenge leadership and
management skills, by putting them in the 'hot seat' running their own global construction contracting business.
The graduates were split into 8 'balanced' teams comprising of people involved in engineering,
commercial and construction management roles. They competing for 4 rounds against computer-simulated
companies, and then a further 4 rounds 'head to head' against each other.
The module took place over two days from Tuesday February 17th until Wednesday February 18th at the
company's Head Office in Dartford.
