Items of importance

Respondents were asked to rate key items considered in terms of their importance in arriving at the decision to use an alliance procurement method.

Responses have been grouped into the following categories:

■  owner responses

■  NOP responses

Graphical representation of the results is provided in Figures 12 and 13.

Observations on the perceived items of importance to select an alliance include:

■  Owners viewed certainty of outcome (31.4%) to be of highest importance when selecting an alliance procurement method, followed by time (28.6%) and cost (17.1%).

■  Non-owner participants viewed time (34.0%) to be of highest importance, followed by flexibility of approach and cost (both 25.5%).

■  Non-owner participants did not rate certainty of outcome (19.1%) very highly in comparison to the owners' view that this was most important.

■  Both owners and non-owner participants did not view other stakeholders or community to be of particularly high importance.

■  Non-owner participants viewed team dynamics significantly higher than owners (17% to 0%).
