Guidance Note - Establishing a culture focused on the achievement of objectives (as set out in this clause 4.2) requires the Participants to have a clear understanding of the objectives of the Project and to work together and collaborate in respect of all aspects of the performance of the Works (from designing the Works, obtaining all of the authorisations required to carry out the Project and to preparing a project management system for the Project). Each endeavour of the Participants under the Agreement must be made with the clear aim of achieving the Project Owner's objectives for the Project (and, in particular, the Project Owner's VFM Statement).

"Best-in-class" resources, having regard to the Project Owner's objectives for the Project, must be utilised and innovation must be encouraged. Given that the Participants will collaborate in all aspects of the performance of the Works, all of the Participants will have complete "buy in" in respect of the Project and any objectives which are achieved will be achieved by the Participants as a whole (rather than any one Participant) and will be recognised by the Participants as a team effort.
