One of the key benefits of alliancing is that the skills of Participants can be collaboratively applied to deliver better than business-as-usual outcomes. In order to maximise VfM outcomes, the lessons learnt within the alliance should be accurately detailed in the VfM Report. The alliance should develop and apply processes to ensure that the Participants' knowledge and experiences are captured as part of the day-to-day business of the alliance. These can then be used to assist other alliance projects (and potentially other procurement methods) to optimise VfM outcomes.
