Engineering Construction Industry Training Board

This is a highly successful and rewarding competition-based learning event in project management run in partnership with Cranfield University School of Management. Teams of 5 people manage a fixed price construction project, from inception to completion, financed by negotiated loan capital on behalf of an external client.

The competition is aimed at project management practitioners, team members and support / service staff, e.g. HR and accounts personnel who interface with, and provide services to, project teams.

There are significant opportunities for teams to engage in the negotiation of claims for client-driven scope changes and in the resolution of disputes.The exercise is highly time-pressured, enjoyable and rewarding.

The event commences with a series of short project management tutorials on the Friday morning. After lunch, teams finalise execution plans and profit estimates prior to the simulation commencing. Teams benefit greatly from background reading and preparation prior to the event.

ECITB will pay for the tutoring fees and cost of entry for each team. The employer is responsible for other costs including travel and accommodation for the team members.
