As noted several times in this Study, alliances are often associated with highly uncertain projects.
The Research Team observed many times that unforeseen challenges and/or major scope changes arose during the lifecycle of the various projects. These were invariably addressed effectively and efficiently by the alliance, certainly far better than would be normally expected using traditional delivery methods where VfM erosion would be highly likely.
Discussion Point 19 - Flexibility and alliance response The alliance delivery method provides superior flexibility and potentially greater VfM compared to traditional delivery methods for highly uncertain projects where unforeseen challenges, risks and concept changes are likely and cannot be dimensioned in the business case or soon thereafter. |
