Why Do We Need a New Consortium?

The vast majority of capital projects are still delivered late and over-budget, a failure that costs stakeholders billions of dollars every year. This simple fact makes it abundantly clear that risk analysis done with traditional tools like the FEL and PDRI do not provide sufficient and reliable risk-management insights for leaders.

At Concord, we have seen that Advanced Work Packaging and Predictability Thinking™ provide a more effective risk management framework for capital project organizations. We want to be able to quantify these findings for the benefit of our clients and the thousands of other AWP leaders who need to manage the risk profile of initiatives inside their own companies.

The Concord AWP Benchmarking Consortium will help us do that, while delivering unparalleled value to participating organizations.

What Happens When My Company Joins the Consortium?

The first step is the AWP Maturity Assessment. This flagship Concord® offering includes a comprehensive testing protocol that helps us understand the maturity of your project delivery system as well as your AWP readiness and/or effectiveness. As a group, you’ll get insights on delivery systems, capital project performance and AWP, as well as blueprints for upgrading both AWP and your project delivery systems.

We will immediately provide your organization with unlimited access to our ISO 9001-certified AWP Fundamentals course, the world’s first self-paced, on-demand training course for Advanced Work Packaging professionals. This course has been leveraged by some of the largest and most successful capital project organizations in the world, as well as leading universities. Employees who successfully complete the exam are eligible for the Concord Advanced Work Packaging Professional® designation, recognized worldwide.

As our dataset grows, we will offer consortium members the highest level of access to anonymized, aggregate data that can be used to benchmark project delivery systems against those of other organizations that have implemented AWP, with a view to identifying high-performing systems and leveraging opportunities for improvement.

Innovative, Progressive and Forward-Thinking

AWP and Predictability Thinking® are the most promising developments we’ve seen in our sector in more than 50 years. This new consortium and the practical, cohesive benchmarking framework it’s built on will support members in understanding and quantifying the impact of AWP practices in relation to the maturity of their project delivery systems.

Our goal is to provide executives with quantitative insights that correlate capital portfolio risk with AWP and project management-related practices. Join us!
