Owners implement Front End Planning, Zero Accidents Techniques, and Change Management more frequently and better than they implement other best practices. Contractors implement Zero Accidents Techniques, Project Risk Assessment, and Change Management more regularly and effectively than they implement other best practices. (BMM2010-4, p13)
Figure 10 illustrates how well the best practices were implemented by the owners and contractors.
Figure 12 presents the percentage of projects that scored a high level of use for each best practice. The numbers next to each best practice represent the sample size. The score ranges from 0 to 10, with 0 indicating no use of the best practice and 10 indicating full implementation. In Figure 12, a VBP score greater than or equal to 6.67 is considered “high use” or “well implemented.” By using this definition for “high use,” the team found Change Management, Zero Accidents Techniques, Planning for Start-up, and Front End Planning to be the four best practices that were well implemented. Figure 12 shows the percentage of projects implementing each best practice at a high level.
