CASE STUDY – Laing O’Rourke

A global engineering firm, a six-month transformation.

………..

Laing O’Rourke is a global engineering and construction company with a workforce of 6,000+. Its talent strategy centres on attracting, developing, and retaining top talent — with a particular emphasis on diversity and inclusion.

In just six months, SDP’s consulting team ran a full transformation: a needs assessment, prototyping of talent market solutions, strategic briefs, and the build-out of a Global Capability Centre in India.

The result: a 20% reduction in contractor costs, faster hiring turnaround, and immediate access to a vetted global talent pool — all delivered inside the project timeline.

OUR FRAMEWORK

02

Compliance

Build audit-ready frameworks that withstand scrutiny.

03

Control

Cost‑Reduction

Implement lean processes that reduce cost‑to‑serve.
