FUTURE LEADERS

FIDIC

On the eve of its new century...

FIDIC in the future

FIDIC - SITUATION

FIDIC defines itself as an international

federation, representing globally the

consulting industry

With the mission to: “promote business

interests”.

FIDIC - OBJECTIVES

Develop business methodsRepresent internationallyPromote ethicsEnsure sustainabilityENHANCE IMAGE

FIDIC OBJECTIVES -YPs PERCEPTIONS

FIDIC Objective YPs perceptions

Develop business methods Acceptable, more actions appreciated

Represent internationally Can do it better

Promote ethics BIMS / FIMS is an excellent reference

Ensure sustainabilityAcceptable, but needs more “BITE TO

THE BARK”

ENHANCE IMAGE Not satisfactory

FIDIC -REPRESENT INTERNATIONALLY

Not all young professionals were aware of FIDIC in their home countries. We propose:• Introducing FIDIC in general engineering courses.• Getting support from reputable international bodies,

WB, UN, … • Use the potential of new technology for improved

communication and organization. (Start with a new FIDIC website!)

FIDIC - DEVELOP BUSINESS METHODS

YPs appreciate the existing methods but believe they can

be improved by considering future demands for business

methods. FIDIC must ‘stay ahead’ of the industry.

YPs also propose that FIDIC increases the awareness of

its existing new business tools to professionals around the

world.

FIDIC - PROMOTE ETHICS

Provide clear and practical examples in BIMS / FIMS

FIDIC - ENSURE SUSTAINABILITY

Public Education

Government Enforcement

FIDIC - ENHANCE IMAGE

Containing the YPs greatest expectations Requirement: being recognized as the global representative

of the consulting engineering industry

Proposed actions by YPs:• Protect the title of engineer• Define the status of engineering in legislation of all

countries• Act as a trade union to improve recognition and working

conditions for engineers

• Improve the reputation of engineers

Such as highlighting the role of engineers in:Inventing high-tech surgical equipment to enable physicians to make successful surgeries (safety & health);Improved transportation (trains through the Swiss Alps);Better and more efficient agriculture;Improved communication tools (cell phones, internet, …)More pleasant entertainment, (i.e. movies, internet, fun parks, …)

FIDIC - ENHANCE IMAGE (cont.)

By enhancing the image of engineers and the consulting industry, we will hope that ENGINEERINGis the FIRST choice of our genius youth for education.

YPs are here to work with you on this exciting issue!

SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT

According to the WCED:

“Development that meets the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs.“

WHAT IS SUSTAINABILITY?


Misconceptions of Sustainable Development (SD)


OUR CURRENT OBSERVATIONS

OUR CURRENT OBSERVATIONSLocal impacts have global impacts;


SD practices are being applied differently;



Dependence on a top down approach;

Issues with cost based procurement.



Educate our clients;Stakeholder engagement;

Promote SD to society;Bottom-up approach;

SD should be self-motivated.

YP IMPROVEMENT PLAN


Promote InnovationPromote QBS, which leads to sustainable projects;Enhance legislation;Give engineers legal rights to specify best practices (Client issues vs social responsibility);Encourage life cycle analysis (Cradle to grave approach);Run as politicians.
