Guidance Note: To satisfy this commitment, each approach, decision, solution or resolution that is taken or made by the Participants under the alliance contract must be developed collaboratively and agreed by the Participants on the basis that it is consistent with:

•  the Alliance Principles; and

•  producing an outcome where all Participants will win equally or all Participants will lose equally, based on the objectives of the Project.

Any approach, decision, solution or resolution taken or made by the Participants which would result in a win/loss outcome for the Participants will not be acceptable. There is no concept of best-for-self decision-making under an alliance contract.

To achieve this, the Participants must establish a peer relationship where each Participant has an equal say in decisions for the Project, all communications between the Participants must be open, transparent and honest so as to enable informed decision making and each of the Participants must have a clear understanding of the objectives of the Project.
