Case Studies
The Collaborative
Relationships best practice model is based on research
commissioned by the National Audit Office (NAO) and undertaken by
Soma Consultants to examine the impact
that the focus on relationships had on project successes.
The research was primarily based within the Oil & Gas and
Construction industries and examined the ability to measure success
of the relationships within a number of projects. It builds on the
NAO "Gold Standard" for project
delivery.
Case Studied Projects
Organisations working together in project teams - including
suppliers - can apply this learning to measure and improve the
effectiveness of their collaborative relationships and so improve
project performance.
Whilst expert guidance and tools are needed to follow these
steps for maximum benefit, they do offer a simple and powerful
approach that can transform project performance.

Step Four - Action Plan |
| Use the Collaborative Relationship Best
Practice model as a basis to build awareness and understanding of
each other's organisations ways of working. |
Understand the critical issues on the
project and go on to develop a vision for how the project will be
run in all of the areas identified within the Collaborative
Relationship Model. |
Define Key Performance Indicators (KPIs),
based on the Collaborative Relationship model, with a focus on the
relationships and interactions between all involved, and identify
how to measure them. |
Agree to commit to action that will deliver
these KPIs and embed relationship development and sucess in project
plans |
