This CITB Leadership & Management course in Understanding Commercial Awareness was developed by the construction specialists Acadame.

Delivered at our centre in Stoke-on-Trent, Staffordshire, virtually online or on-site; the purpose of this standard is to enable the delegate an understanding of how stakeholder and client relationships and the monitoring and control of costs and waste contribute to making an organisation commercially successful as required by a practising or potential site supervisor:

  • the importance of stakeholder relationships in making an organisation successful
  • the role of the supervisor in meeting client requirements
  • the role of the supervisor in managing and controlling costs
  • the role of the supervisor in minimising waste in an organisation
  • how keeping records contributes to making an organisation successful

 

Leadership and management are key skills for all construction sites and an area where the industry has identified a need for greater support and training.
