Future Ready
Putting our Ingenuity Forward
As we face a collective turning point in our climate, resources and
communities, a brighter future is ours to create together. We exist to
future-proof our cities and environments. Despite an ever-changing
landscape, our commitment to our purpose remains resolute.
It courses through every facet of our organization, anchored in
our beliefs and Guiding Principles – and it is this purpose that will
continue to propel us into the future.
How Far Can We See?
In 2019, we challenged ourselves to
expand our horizons, setting ambitious
goals to push ourselves even further as
an organization. Since then, we have
lived through a period of extraordinary
changes, yet we continued to deliver on
our aspirations. Through the deliberate
evolution of our core pillars People
and Culture, Clients, Expertise,
Operational Excellence as well as
our foundational strength and the
dedication and resilience of our people,
we are extremely proud to have realized
our 2019-2021 strategic ambitions.
Today, we are boldly redefining the
role of a professional consulting firm.
We are applying our state-of-the-art
expertise and the collective ingenuity
of our people in order to imagine and
create Future Ready places for clients
and communities, locally and across
the globe. Our work is of strategic
importance in preparing for the future;
and we are at the heart of climate
change consciousness.
Our long-term vision sets an ambitious
destination for WSP to become the
undisputed leader in our industry.

Building on this momentum, I am
pleased to present our 2022-2024 Global
Strategic Action Plan, which directs
the next phase of our journey. This plan
is the result of extensive consultations
with our key stakeholders – our people,
clients and shareholders. Looking
through the lens of our stakeholders
and the transformational market
trends we collectively face, the long-
term vision for our company became
strikingly clear. We understand what is
needed, and we believe WSP is uniquely
positioned to create an enduring legacy
of greater impact.

the brightest minds to solve the
most complex challenges through
our exceptional services, all while
investing in our experts, technology
and platform, so our people can
effectively focus on their passion and
purpose as they continue to change
the world.
Our vision also puts us on a trajectory
with aspirations to double in size,
achieve sustainable industry-leading
organic growth, and realize adjusted
EBITDA margin1 above 20 percent.
Our growth, while ambitious, has
always been disciplined, strategic to
our purpose, and in the best interests
of our stakeholders.
Our path is clear. We are determined
to transform this bold vision into
reality.
Our 2022-2024 Global Strategic
Action Plan Charts Our Course
While our long-term vision sets an
aspirational destination, it is our 2022-
2024 Global Strategic Action Plan that
will help us chart our course and make
considerable progress over the next
three years on our journey to becoming
the undisputed leader in our industry.
Through the forces that drive us,
namely ESG, Innovation and Technology,
we will further evolve our organization,
reflecting the needs of both our
professionals and our clients, and
creating a platform where our insightful
advice, cutting edge expertise, and
smart designs provide the highest
standard of services to clients.

where societies can thrive. To achieve
this, we must first lead by example.
Over the next three years, we intend
to make significant progress towards
achieving our previously announced
2030 science-based GHG emissions
reduction targets, while increasing
our clean revenues to more than half
of our business. This will contribute to
our commitment to achieve net zero
emissions across our value chain by
2040.
Against this backdrop, we have given
careful thought to who we are and the
role we play in creating tomorrows

or industries might seem like the
right thing to do, however as our
professionals, clients and investors
understand, abandoning the field
altogether would mean leaving some
stakeholders behind, and would not
serve the greater goal of transitioning
to a cleaner world. Drawing on the
wisdom of our experts, real change
comes from assisting clients who share
our goal of moving swiftly towards an
equitable, inclusive, and net zero world.
Therefore, it is our aim to focus on

Over the next three years, we will
continue to create value for our
stakeholders by advancing our
foundational pillars to foster our
peoples ingenuity, lead through
technical excellence and innovation,
and elevate the standard in client

The purposes of each case study assignment include the following:
To hone your abilities to research using scholarly sources

To explore a historical topic and make connections to change over time
Instructions
Pick one (1) of the following topics. Then, address the corresponding questions/prompts for your selected topic. Use at least one (1) documented example of the corresponding primary source in your writing.
Option 1: McCarthyism and Anti-Communist Campaigns
The Cold War brought about an irrational fear of communism and communist activities in the United States. As we are learning this week, one of the most vocal instigators of this paranoia was Senator Joseph McCarthy. McCarthy delivered a speech about the imminent threat of communism on February 9, 1950. Perform a search on the internet and locate and read Joseph McCarthy’s speech given in Wheeling, West Virginia on February 9, 1950. Copy and paste the following keywords into your Google search bar: “Joseph McCarthy, Wheeling, West Virginia.” The speech is also referred to as “Enemies from Within.”
Construct the case study by responding to the following prompts:
Explain how Senator Joseph McCarthy defined communist nations within the speech. What specific threats did these nations pose?
Assess if Senator Joseph McCarthy charges were accurate.
Analyze anti-communist sentiments during the Cold War era, were these sentiments valid. If so, how? If not, why not?
Explain if there are other examples of events similar to the Red Scare that have occurred throughout history and modern day.
Examine what happened to people who invoked the Fifth Amendment, refused to appear or were found in violation of the law as defined by the Congressional Committee.
Option 2: The Civil Rights Movement
Using the Internet, locate and read Martin Luther King Jr’s “I Have a Dream” speech given in Washington D.C., August 1963. Copy and paste the following keywords into your Google search bar: “I Have a Dream by Martin Luther King, Jr.” Feel free also to locate and incorporate additional scholarly sources to respond to this case study, including information on the Civil Rights Movement.
Construct the case study by responding to the following prompts:
Explain if the Civil Rights Movement of the 1960s effectively changed the nation.
What effect would the Civil Rights Acts have across the continent on minority groups?
Do you think that the tactics and strategies that civil rights activists used in the 1960s would apply to today’s racial and ethnic conflicts? Why or why not?
Do the ideas of the 1960s still have relevance today? If so how? If not, why not?
Analyze how the Civil Rights Movement would impact diversity in America today.
Option 3: American Domestic and Foreign Policies (1953-1991)
Complete a search either in the Chamberlain Library or internet for domestic and foreign polices of four (4) of the following Presidents. Please incorporate at least one primary source of either a policy or act that you have chosen to write about.
Eisenhower
Kennedy
Johnson
Nixon
Ford
Carter
Reagan
Then, compare domestic and foreign polices of your four (4) presidents by answering the following prompts:
Explain how your selected presidents worked to improve the United States economically and socially. Give at least one example of each president.
Assess if the policies of your choice of presidents strengthen or weaken the United States.
Explain how you see your choice of presidents served the public interest and further the cause of democracy.
Determine if it is constitutional for the United States to fight preemptive wars.
Determine if human rights and morality should be the cornerstones of United State foreign policy.
