SRK Innovators Gather in SA for Global Workshop

Known for innovating solutions across multiple disciplines in the consulting engineering field, SRK Consulting held its intensive two-and-a-half-day Global Innovation Workshop in South Africa recently.

Leading up to this international event, SRK held national workshops in recent years, as well as a global virtual innovation workshop in 2020. The workshop drew 36 delegates as well as senior SRK colleagues who were in the country for the bi-annual global practice leaders’ meeting. In addition to the delegates from around South Africa, those present were from practices Australia, Brazil, Canada, Chile, India, Peru, the United Kingdom, Russia, India, China, Khazakhstan and the United States.

We believe firmly that innovation doesn’t just happen – it needs to be driven by passionate people. It is important to bring together these innovators – face-to-face where possible – and it was also great for SRK’s leaders to be there to demonstrate support.

Among the VIPs at the venue to launch the event were SRK group CEO Tim McGurk, SRK South Africa managing director Vis Reddy, SRK director and principal consultant Andrew van Zyl, SRK South Africa chairperson William Joughin and SRK chief technology officer Mike Olsen. Drew noted that the delegates were just the ‘tip of the iceberg’ among the innovators across SRK’s global network of engineers and scientists.
