Abstract:

Disaster reconstruction projects are delivered in complex and uncertain environments, but owners still expect that both cost and non-cost objectives will be achieved. Alliancing is well suited to complex projects with undefined scopes. The alliance project or program delivery method uses key performance indicators to manage non-cost project objectives. Using key performance indicators is one way of translating the non-cost objectives of owners into performance measures that drive performance towards success in these objectives. This paper uses the SCIRT alliance as a case study to investigate how non-cost objectives can be effectively managed in the context of a disaster reconstruction program. The findings in this paper suggest that a dynamic non-cost performance management framework enables alliance participants to drive performance, and gain control over program uncertainty as more contextual knowledge is obtained and the alliance culture changes throughout the program lifecycle.
