Guidance Note - The following draft Alliance Principles are provided as a starting point for discussion only. The Project Owner needs to consider what the Alliance Principles will be for the Project, taking into account the specific requirements of the Project including the Project Owner's VFM Statement. |
The Alliance Principles are:
(a) all Participants win, or all Participants lose, based on achieved project outcomes. Win-lose outcomes are not acceptable;
(b) Participants have a peer relationship where each Participant has an equal say in decisions for the Project (except in respect of the Project Owner's Reserved Powers);
(c) subject to the terms of this Agreement, risks and responsibilities are shared and managed collectively by the Participants, rather than allocated to individual Participants;
(d) disputes are avoided by adopting a no blame culture;
(e) risks and rewards are shared equitably among Participants;
(f) Participants provide 'best-in-class' resources;
(g) Participants act consistently according to espoused values;
(h) Participants are committed to developing a culture that promotes and drives collaboration, innovation and outstanding performance;
(i) the Participants empowering the ALT and the AMT to make decisions and take actions under this Agreement;
(j) all transactions are fully open book;
(k) Participants are committed to developing a 'communication culture' and being transparent in all of their dealings with each other;
(l) Participants share all information and do not hold back ideas;
(m) communication between all Participants is open, straight and honest so as to enable informed decision making;
(n) each Participant is committed to ensuring that each other Participant understands any documentation prepared in respect of the Project and any information, analysis or methodology contained in that documentation;
(o) ethical and responsible behaviour at all times;
(p) learnings of the Participants are identified and shared and capability is developed; and
(q) important decisions are made, and processes and systems are adopted, on a Best For Project basis,
or as otherwise agreed by the ALT from time to time.
