Project Controls 6.0: project controls for capital works projects
The governance of capital works projects is often challenged by the divergent objectives and success criteria of the two primary contracting parties: the Project Owner and the Project Deliverer (Contractor). While traditional project control paradigms frequently assume a unified approach, we can also argue that such a model is insufficient to manage the inherent goal disparity and information asymmetry that define the Owner-Deliverer relationship. We therefore present a framework for differentiated project controls tailored to the unique imperatives of these two key stakeholders.
This session offers a more nuanced model for project governance that acknowledges and manages the divergent interests inherent in capital works, aiming to enhance transparency, improve strategic decision-making, and foster more successful project outcomes for all stakeholders.
