Better competitiveness typically comes from continuous improvement and step change improvement of processes. One method of improving processes is to implement expert knowledge developed by industry, universities and/or research institutes such as the
Key Findings

Organizational implementation of project knowledge varies widely among the CII organizations in this study. Every organization has room for improvement. (RS166-1, p. 21)

Key areas for organizational implementation improvement include:

  • Providing resources to the implementation effort including time, money, focus, and incentives
  • Developing better documentation of processes and results of implementation efforts
  • Using benchmarking and metrics extensively to understand opportunities for improvement
  • Employing self-auditing programs to ensure that processes are being used and continuously improved

Organizations in this study with better implementation practices performed better on capital projects. Ultimately, the marketplace will differentiate organizations which can successfully implement new knowledge from those who cannot. (RS166-1, p. 22)

This research validates the Implementation Model. Organizations should use the CII Implementation Model to order their implementation efforts and the CII Knowledge Structure to identify Best Practices that can provide benefits. (RS166-1, p. 22)
