The Global Business Management Competition for the Construction Industry

ENGINUITY 2015

Copyright Virtual Management Simulations

IntroductionThe ENGINUITY 2015 Competition provides management and leadership training that is relevant and appropriate for today's construction professionals worldwide, relevant because the very nature of the Competition involves running a GLOBAL CONSTRUCTION BUSINESS, giving participants the opportunity to experience the challenges that face their corporate management on a daily basis.

Using a sophisticated computer simulation, competing teams are given the task of managing a fledgling UK-based multinational construction business in a realistic economic climate relevant to the global economy as it is today, and the success or failure of their 'virtual' business depends entirely on the decisions they make in a number of key business areas.

ENGINUITY 2015 pits participating teams against their colleagues and peers in a unique business management experience.
