Leaders are needed for the next decade to repair infrastructure, design fail-safe processes, rebuild the economy through safe innovation, work with nature and limited global resources, and authorize works impacting health and safety. Engineers are needed more than ever before to address these challenges and responsibilities that cannot be evaded.

White Paper: Increasing Law Firm Revenues Through Better Communications
White Paper: Increasing Law Firm Revenues Through Better CommunicationsDavid Blumentals
油
This white paper discusses how law firms can increase revenues through better client communications. It argues that law firms currently struggle to provide personalized, targeted communications to clients across different channels. The document provides several recommendations for law firms, including segmenting clients, tailoring messages based on individual preferences, and improving cross-selling of legal services through more targeted communications. It acknowledges the challenges law firms face in balancing formality with being approachable to clients, as well as integrating legacy systems and processes. The white paper advocates for a more integrated approach to client communications and relationships at law firms.Super engineers Africa's Leaders of the future

Civil engineers are recognized as innovators of society. They create the bridges, roadways, and walking paths that connect us to each other. Beyond infrastructure developed by civil engineers, the results of engineering are all around us from the cars we drive to the water we drink. Engineering is a prospering field with professionals whose aggregate skills lend themselves well to the realm of leadership. Explore why engineers make great leaders by checking out this slide deck.Engineers as Future Leaders @ NED Wali Zahid

This document outlines an agenda and resources for Engineers Week, an annual celebration of engineering. It provides an overview of the event's goals of raising awareness of engineering as an exciting career. Survey results found that both students and teachers found past Engineers Week events informative. The 2015 theme will focus on engineering's positive impacts and its diversity. Companies and individual engineers are encouraged to get involved by hosting or assisting with events. Resources and tips are provided to help with planning, communications, and evaluating events.Able Engineering & Welch Way: Aligning Employees to Strategy through Leadersh...

Franklin D. Roosevelt said that the story of bridge building tells the story of civilization's progress. The document discusses Ireland's construction boom and the progress made in building infrastructure like the Aviva Stadium, Samuel Beckett Bridge, and Port Tunnel. It argues that Ireland now has an opportunity to internationalize its construction industry and export its expertise, but must also continue supporting construction at home to maintain skills and drive future growth.Terry Nolan

1. Ireland faces major energy challenges around security of supply, developing a low-carbon economy, and competitive pricing.
2. The development of Ireland's domestic energy resources like Corrib gas and investment in infrastructure are critical needs.
3. Ireland's energy challenges will provide many opportunities for engineers in areas like infrastructure, renewable technologies, hydrocarbon exploration and development.Roger Whatmore

The document summarizes rainfall data from November 2008 and 2009 that caused widespread flooding in Cork, Ireland. It shows rainfall was significantly higher in November 2009 compared to 2008. This led to a civic emergency declaration and a multi-agency response to distribute alternative water supplies via tankers, bottled water, and bowsers after flooding damaged water infrastructure. Over 70% of the city lost water access initially. A crisis coordination team and media liaison team were established to manage response efforts and communication with the public.Ianquinn

Ireland faces challenges meeting its 2020 EU targets for reducing greenhouse gas emissions and increasing renewable energy. Continuing on the current baseline projections would require significant investment in wind power and incur high costs. Instead, focusing first on reducing energy consumption and emissions from transport through supply chain management could help meet emission targets at lower cost. Investing in biomass from short rotation forestry to replace peat in existing power stations would further reduce costs while creating rural jobs, compared to installing more wind turbines. With the right strategy emphasizing energy efficiency and biomass over wind, Ireland can comply with EU targets at much lower overall expense.Cregannatactx

The document summarizes a presentation given by Aidan Corcoran from EirGrid on April 23rd 2010 about Ireland's electricity transmission grid. It discusses:
- Peak electricity demand in Ireland reaching 3,700 MW on April 14th 2010
- Wind generation reaching 200 MW on the same day
- The need to develop the grid to support economic growth, meet renewable energy targets of 40% by 2020, and connect to European markets
- Current and planned wind power capacity, and the importance of grid connections to facilitate this
- Planned grid upgrades and investments totaling 4 billion under the Grid25 strategyAidan Corcoran

1) EirGrid presented on the need to develop Ireland's electricity transmission grid (GRID25) to support economic growth and meet renewable energy targets of 40% by 2020.
2) The presentation outlined Ireland's existing and planned wind energy capacity, and noted that further grid development was needed to connect new renewable projects.
3) GRID25 involves upgrading 2,200 km of existing lines and building 1,150 km of new transmission infrastructure at a cost of 4 billion to strengthen security, support renewable integration, and increase interconnection with Europe.More Related Content
