Now in its eighth year, the 5-month programme brings together high-potential professionals from across the built environment industry to take part in a unique programme of leadership and innovation.

The programme kicks off with a two day innovation workshop in January, followed by a Retreat in March and will culminate in an evening of showcase presentations to industry leaders in June 2021. The programme takes participants on a journey to develop skills in personal leadership, collaborative thinking, business idea development, innovation and storytelling.

Future Leaders provides a forum for tomorrow’s leaders to grapple with the most critical issues that the sector will face in the future, and challenges participants to work collaboratively to address these. Graduates from the programme are able to join the exclusive Future Leaders alumni network, which brings opportunities for continued professional development and access to a growing number of thought-leaders right across the built environment value chain.
