A Value Management Framework for Strategic and Project Briefing

摘要

Briefing is the process by which the client's requirements are articulated, options are reviewed, and decisions are made. It has been the focus of intense research studies in design, project management and facilities management in the past decade. However, there is still a lack of a holistic framework of the detail methodology for improving the briefing practice. This paper introduces an international research which aims at investigating whether a Value Management Framework would lead to systematic identification and precise representation of the client's requirements in the briefing process. The exploration of the various fields and factors that unite to build the theoretical framework for Construction Briefing methodology was discussed. This theoretical framework is designed for use within a value management workshop-based approach that aims to provide the project team with all of the information required to understand the position of the project in terms of the client's values and the project's performance criteria An overview of the proposed VM Framework is also provided in this paper. The authors sincerely hope that this VM Framework would be further tested in real-life case projects in the near future.
