Client and Participant Comments
“Value Management has proven to be
a great tool to use in engaging local communities in the early stages of a
planning project resulting in wide ownership of the issues and the processes for
trading off the pros and cons of a range of possible solutions.”
“I was a little sceptical about the
(Value Management) workshop initially, but after two days was most impressed
with the consultation process and found it most informative and valuable.”
“The Agency has been using Value
Management on major projects since the early 1990's. We have found Value
Management an excellent methodology, which can be used on projects and
enterprises involving disparate stakeholders, to develop shared understanding,
to identify common ground and to obtain commitment to strategies and action
plans. Value Management has been applied successfully to a wide range of
projects from hard end infrastructure projects to soft end projects such as
policy development, project scoping and strategic planning.”
“The outcomes (of the Value
Management workshop) proved that time and again the process gets to the core
matters and gives everyone the information and direction to work to”
With many stakeholders of diverse backgrounds
and expertise, the structured Value Management process was successful in
creating an environment whereby all stakeholders were able to develop ownership
of the proposed solutions and be committed to the implementation of the
proposals. It enabled stakeholders to work together to identify opportunities
for development and to highlight any potential problems from the outset.
Importantly, the Value Management approach was successful in helping
traditionally disparate stakeholders find commonality on issues, and to focus on
the objectives and needs of all stakeholders, both long and short term.
Whilst the SWOT and Future Search methods are
highly dependent on the skill of the facilitator the Value Management
methodology is process rather than facilitator, dependent. This provides for
more dependable and defendable outcomes. The process forces a draw down of
issues in a logical method that produces a data set that tends to self correct
any bias in the overall workshop participant makeup. This became evident when
subsequent and extensive community consultation validated the data collected
during the workshop. The next observation is that the Value Management Study
does not confuse the task of data gathering with data interpretation. Rather,
it provided the data from which a plan could be derived. This separation of
function is one of its great features. “We have gained a common understanding of the problems and issues affecting our business” “There has been an opportunity to listen to others, exchange information and identify some misconceptions” “It has been an open forum with active participation and issues brought into focus – a good facilitation process with everyone contributing” “We have achieved an increased understanding of the problem, realised we have common issues, built relationships and achieved our objectives” “The process involved a cross section of expertise and community that lead to a widening of views. The process was effective, thorough and equitable with active listening from all. We got all the major issues out in the open”
“We met other stakeholders, which
has enabled networking opportunities”
