Project failures and success
There are four major categories of project failuresThere are dimensions for measuring project successUnder each of these categories there numerous reasons
![Page 6: Partnering: Minimize Failure and Enhance the Chance of Success](https://reader038.fdocuments.in/reader038/viewer/2022103018/5597d89e1a28abae5e8b45c8/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)

Project failuresProject fails because of one of four categories:
Lack of proper business case, feasibility study, objectives setting
Failure in planning
Failure in execution
Environmental conditions significantly different than anticipated due to abnormal situations
It could be a combination of the above
Understanding failure allows us to proactively seek success
![Page 7: Partnering: Minimize Failure and Enhance the Chance of Success](https://reader038.fdocuments.in/reader038/viewer/2022103018/5597d89e1a28abae5e8b45c8/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)

More on project failuresFailures due to each of the above categories can be due to:
Individuals’ competence, or lack of
Training, professional development, other factors
Lack of proper follow up
Empowerment and accountability
The project management organizational system
No proper methodology and processes in place
No historical project records and lessons learned …
Low level of project management maturity

Case studies: setting the sceneThree case studies are from same project
Mega project; two parts
New facilities; revamp of existing refinery
Joint venture; 3 partner (50/40/10)
Main partners are North American, Project is Asia
On a small island; no space or local resources
Contractors mostly European
Labor from various Asian countries
Cost plus (reimbursable) contract + incentive

Challenges and success factors (focus on human aspects)
Dispersed teams and management
Frequent online and face to face communications
Island local and limited spacing
Modular construction on four sites
Enhance safety and productivity
Large number of organizations involved
Had to build bridges (cultural and otherwise)
Worked as integrated as possible
![Page 15: Partnering: Minimize Failure and Enhance the Chance of Success](https://reader038.fdocuments.in/reader038/viewer/2022103018/5597d89e1a28abae5e8b45c8/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)

More challenges and success factorsIncentive – cost plus contract
Initially a challenge and caused conflict
Later helped build trust and became an advantage
Language a challenge; especially construction
All signs and safety info in four languages
Every crew had a member that speaks one of the four languages
Labors not used to strict safety standards
Using various techniques including “Models”
![Page 16: Partnering: Minimize Failure and Enhance the Chance of Success](https://reader038.fdocuments.in/reader038/viewer/2022103018/5597d89e1a28abae5e8b45c8/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)

CS 2: Innovative Planning and Execution Techniques
Major challenges due to island limited spaceNew plant has to be on reclaimed landTime constraints due to external factors (government closing the shipping channel)Lack of space did not allow to have all labors on sitePlus not enough labor in nearby countries
![Page 17: Partnering: Minimize Failure and Enhance the Chance of Success](https://reader038.fdocuments.in/reader038/viewer/2022103018/5597d89e1a28abae5e8b45c8/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)

Chosen solutionUse modular construction techniques,
Build the main process unit as modules
At fabrication yards
Ship them to the site on barges
Install them one after the other – like Legos
This was selected option
Resulted in close to 200 modules
Many the size of a four-story building

CS 3: Stakeholders Involvement
Focus is on project control
Contract: threats and opportunities
Stakeholders involvement

Main contract
EPC Contract (Engineering, Procurement, and Construction)
Construction was to be subcontracted to one general contractor
Which ended up being a joint venture (consortium)
![Page 31: Partnering: Minimize Failure and Enhance the Chance of Success](https://reader038.fdocuments.in/reader038/viewer/2022103018/5597d89e1a28abae5e8b45c8/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)

Contract’s commercialsCost plus (reimbursable cost)
All costs will be reimbursed (owner risk)
Contractor profit is in the form of a fee
The fee was incentive fee with a cap
The fee was in three parts Safety fee: certain amount if project meets clients
safety requirement – on a scale
Schedule fee: same thing – one a scale
Cost component was also on a scale
![Page 32: Partnering: Minimize Failure and Enhance the Chance of Success](https://reader038.fdocuments.in/reader038/viewer/2022103018/5597d89e1a28abae5e8b45c8/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)

Cost component of the feeCost component was largest; 75% of total fee
The fee could grow or shrink based on actual performance
Budget was set by the owner, with input from main contractor
![Page 34: Partnering: Minimize Failure and Enhance the Chance of Success](https://reader038.fdocuments.in/reader038/viewer/2022103018/5597d89e1a28abae5e8b45c8/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)

Project controlOwner team started as four people early in the project
By the team we reached construction became 2 with one doing most of the project control
Main contractor team had more resources
After the rough start early in the project learned to trust each other
Un-officially formed an integrated team to work together
![Page 35: Partnering: Minimize Failure and Enhance the Chance of Success](https://reader038.fdocuments.in/reader038/viewer/2022103018/5597d89e1a28abae5e8b45c8/html5/thumbnails/35.jpg)

Dealing with the challengeTeam (project control) divided the project into control accounts
Identified the owners for these accounts
Defined the budgets for these accounts
Analyzed the accounts for potential cost savings opportunities
Simulated possible incentives if we achieved these cost savings
![Page 36: Partnering: Minimize Failure and Enhance the Chance of Success](https://reader038.fdocuments.in/reader038/viewer/2022103018/5597d89e1a28abae5e8b45c8/html5/thumbnails/36.jpg)

Stakeholders involvementPC met with control accounts owners; one-on-one
Shared with them PC perspectives
Invited them to work with us in collaboration
Asked them to be cost conscious and identify saving opportunities
Kept them up to date on weekly/monthly basis (depend on account)
![Page 37: Partnering: Minimize Failure and Enhance the Chance of Success](https://reader038.fdocuments.in/reader038/viewer/2022103018/5597d89e1a28abae5e8b45c8/html5/thumbnails/37.jpg)

ResultsSome did not truly collaborate well
Most welcomed the initiatives
Did generate some cost savings, in construction, which is not easy
Avoided potential costly variances
Built strong team and stakeholders relations
Did contribute to project success
Project wise: did not cap the cost incentive but came close

Alliance engagement: background
Petrochemical projects @ 5 sites (plants)
Multiple projects from $200 m to $50 mm
Total value at peak ~ $100 mm
Alliance contract
Engineering, Procurement, Construction
4 years term – renewable
True cost plus incentive based contract
Client provided estimate, agreed by contractor
Contractor profit only if we under run projects
![Page 40: Partnering: Minimize Failure and Enhance the Chance of Success](https://reader038.fdocuments.in/reader038/viewer/2022103018/5597d89e1a28abae5e8b45c8/html5/thumbnails/40.jpg)

Organization
Client “PMO” housedProject engineersManaging overall project with focus on engineering
Construction supervisionMostly about quality, safety, and coordination with
operation organization
Project control (cost & schedule) responsibility of PE – but not main focus (initially was not on PMO)
Estimating is in home org not on PMO
![Page 41: Partnering: Minimize Failure and Enhance the Chance of Success](https://reader038.fdocuments.in/reader038/viewer/2022103018/5597d89e1a28abae5e8b45c8/html5/thumbnails/41.jpg)

Organization, continued
Contractor PMO housed
Project engineers & construction supervision
Like client organization but more direct to work
Project control: cost, schedule, & subcontracting responsibility of Technical Support Team
Most construction labor by contractor and specialty subcontractors
Both contractor and client housed together
Construction at each site
Engineering and Technical Support in common site near the plants
![Page 42: Partnering: Minimize Failure and Enhance the Chance of Success](https://reader038.fdocuments.in/reader038/viewer/2022103018/5597d89e1a28abae5e8b45c8/html5/thumbnails/42.jpg)

The situationMost projects over running their budget
Contractor not earning any profit and blaming client for deceptive estimating
Client blaming contractor for lack of management and control
Definitions
> 110% of budget = over run (headache)
100 to 110% of budget = over expenditure
Tolerated – but as long as we stay close to 105%
![Page 43: Partnering: Minimize Failure and Enhance the Chance of Success](https://reader038.fdocuments.in/reader038/viewer/2022103018/5597d89e1a28abae5e8b45c8/html5/thumbnails/43.jpg)

Conflict
Both client and contractor losing credibility with the “owner” / i.e. client operations
Trust was destroyed
Client PM – OK but not highly effective
Contractor PM – same way; replaced with a “top gun” from contractor
Two years into a 4-year contract
Contractor no profit and facing losing renewal
Client suffering over runs

Solution?
Client established a project support officeInitial team consisted of 3 team members
Later increased to 4
Main obstaclesNot enough power or authority
Walked into a confrontational situation
Not enough experience in team
Not directly responsible for control
![Page 46: Partnering: Minimize Failure and Enhance the Chance of Success](https://reader038.fdocuments.in/reader038/viewer/2022103018/5597d89e1a28abae5e8b45c8/html5/thumbnails/46.jpg)

Initial results
Contractor huge resistance
Large project control team consisted of close to 40 people at peak
Reduced workload led to drop to ~ 20
But not effective at all
Major confrontation
With every report and monthly status
Struggling with multi-projects environment
![Page 47: Partnering: Minimize Failure and Enhance the Chance of Success](https://reader038.fdocuments.in/reader038/viewer/2022103018/5597d89e1a28abae5e8b45c8/html5/thumbnails/47.jpg)

IntegrationContractor new PM not fully aware of issues
Adversaries meeting of the minds
Convinced him to come to a monthly review
He was literally shocked – his pride was hurt
Another meeting – asking us for solution
Proposed concept of team integration
Refused for all PMO
Agreed for PSO – joining both teams
Client organization accepted but with hesitation
Contractor PM insisted – he was the champion

Integrated, what now
Believe in the team
The issues are in the system

But lack of performance weakened his stand
Overcome through good relations and giving his team confidence and support
Action – multiple meetings one-on-one
Understanding issues and frustrations
With their own organization and client
