Informed Advocacy
Introduction Welcome to this discussion on Informed Advocacy—an essential aspect of making our voices heard on national and engineering issues. As engineers, our expertise places us in a unique position to contribute meaningfully to national development. However, for our advocacy to be impactful, it must be rooted in data, analysis, and well-reasoned perspectives. To achieve this, we must: By taking an informed approach, we not only amplify our voice but also enhance our credibility and relevance in shaping policies and decisions that affect engineering and society as a whole. Let us explore how we can strengthen our advocacy efforts and ensure that our contributions are both impactful and sustainable. Your input is key to this mission!
Establishing a Minimum Scale of Fees
Introduction Welcome to this discussion on the importance of establishing a minimum scale of fees for engineering practitioners and firms. This initiative is a critical step toward ensuring transparency, fairness, and professionalism within the engineering industry. By setting clear guidelines: This approach not only strengthens the financial foundation of engineering practice but also ensures that the contributions of practitioners are properly valued, supporting sustainability and growth across the industry. We can not leave this to the Ministry of Works and Housing to do it for us, we must develop ours. I welcome your thoughts and contributions as we explore how this policy can elevate the standards of our profession and benefit all stakeholders.
Culture Transformation
IntroductionWelcome to this discussion on Culture Transformation within our organisation. A thriving and impactful institution begins with a strong, shared culture that sets clear expectations, promotes collaboration and drives continuous improvement. Currently,member engagement is low and members undertaking institution assignments do not exhibit strong commitment. Three key goals that I believe can help us deliver a strong culture include: Setting clear expectations for officeholders, leading by example and promoting active member engagement. Your views and ideas are welcome.
