Now in its ninth 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 late January, followed by a retreat in March and will culminate in an evening of showcase presentations to industry leaders in June 2022. The programme takes participants on a journey to develop their innovative thinking, business idea development, personal leadership skills, collaboration 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 Leadership Forum alumni network, which brings opportunities for continued thought leadership right across the built environment value chain.
