PUBLIC EVENT
Join this webinar to hear about an innovative new approach to measuring the health and capability of the engineering environment across the globe. The research team from S&P Global’s Market Intelligence will present a novel new approach to measurement in the engineering profession and unveil the 2023 Engineering Capability Index, a continuation of the 2019 Global Engineering Capability Review.
Engineering plays an essential role in the quality of life of a country’s citizenry, providing the foundation for basic services to cutting edge innovations. Critically, engineering plays a key role in the prevention and reduction of harm. But how can we know where country’s stand and what steps they can take to improve? Arriving at a consensus on what gaps exist in a country’s capability and who is responsible is a perennial challenge this index seeks to address.
This webinar will present the index framework and an overview of the methodological approach and a first look at early findings from the research. The S&P Global research team will demonstrate how these data can better inform decision-makers across stakeholder types to promote best practices and identify areas of opportunity. The team will also show how the index measurements are designed to allow prioritisation of key opportunities by stakeholders, recognising the realistic limitations of policy-making in resource-constrained environments.
