This subject covers strategic approaches to construction strategic project delivery and the leadership requirements for not only construction projects but the construction industry generally. The construction industry is increasingly facing social, economic, culture, computer virtual reality, artificial intelligence & problem solving, and environmental challenges that require construction leaders that can inspire and affect real change. The subject explores the difference between construction management and leadership and examines how the 'softer' leadership and strategic project skills such as strategic vision, communication skills, charisma, personality, and business understanding to be integrated with construction project and business strategies to improve both construction project and business performance and outcomes. This includes strategic approaches to negotiation and dispute resolution; the characteristics of industry construction leaders are explored and analysed. The importance of cross-cultural skills in a global construction project environment is also covered. Students are introduced to the concept of organisational project management (OPM) which aligns project deliverables with strategy.
