What is project partnering?
![Page 8: Week 10-global-it-pm-1222593912905712-8](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061210/548ffd30b47959c12a8b45d1/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Project Partnering is a process of
transforming contractual
arrangements into a cohesive,
collaborative team that deals with
issues and problems encountered
to meet a customer’s needs

Assumptions
1. the traditional adversarial relationship between the owner and contractor is ineffective and self-defeating
2. that both parties share common goals and will mutually benefit

The sub contractor wants to use existing systems and processes, which may help the P.O.’s ability to manage costs, but might restrict it’s ability to generate goodwill through lack of flexibility.

The P.O. wants to manage it’s delivery to be on time and on target.
This helps the client minimise risk, but decreases flexibility. New customer requirements will be
harder to implement.

The client organisation wants to maximise customer satisfaction, which may lead to trying to

complex for most customers who want a cheap and convenient solution.

Partnering Relationships
Mutual trust forms the basis for strong working relationships.
Shared goals and objectives ensure common direction.
Joint project team exists with high level of interaction.
Open communications avoid misdirection and bolster effective working relationships.
Long-term commitment provides the opportunity to attain continuous improvement.
Traditional Practices
Suspicion and distrust; each party is wary of the other.
Each party’s goals and objectives, while similar, are geared to what is best for them.
Independent project teams; teams are spatially separated with managed interactions.
Communications are structured and guarded.
Single project contracting is normal.
Key Practices in Partnerships
Table 12.1 Project Partnering Framework(Gray & Larson, 2006, p384)
![Page 25: Week 10-global-it-pm-1222593912905712-8](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061210/548ffd30b47959c12a8b45d1/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
Partnering Relationships
Objective critique is geared to candid assessment of performance.
Access to each other’s organization resources is available.
Total company involvement requires commitment from CEO to team members.
Integration of administrative systems equipment takes place.
Risk is shared jointly among the partners, encouraging innovation and continuous improvement.
Traditional Practices
Objectivity is limited due to fear of reprisal and lack of continuous improvement opportunity.
Access is limited with structured procedures and self-preservation taking priority over total optimization.
Involvement is normally limited to project-level personnel.
Duplication and/or translation takes place with attendant costs and delays.
Risk is transferred to the other party.

Process by which a contract’s authorized scope (costs and activities) may be modified:
– paperwork– tracking systems– dispute resolution procedures– approval levels necessary for authorizing changes
