Key finding 9:  Project delivery - Owner resources

The number of Owner resources provided to the alliances varied.

There was no clear correlation between the number of Owner resources and enhanced VfM.

It was noted that active senior level participation by the Owner provided clear direction and support to the alliance.

Key finding 10:  Project delivery - Early commencement of physical work and project completion

The project's physical works were able to be commenced many months in advance of what would have been possible using traditional delivery methods (as noted elsewhere) leading to a commensurate earlier completion date.

The majority of projects met the Owners' target completion dates as set out in the business case.

Key finding 12:  Project delivery- Outstanding outcomes (game breaking / breakthrough)

There was little indication that outstanding outcomes (game breaking / breakthrough) were actually being achieved within the definitions in use in this Study ('paradigm shift', 'not been done before').

This finding significantly differs with the self-evaluation of both NOPs and Owner representatives within the alliances who considered that their own alliances had achieved outstanding outcomes.
