Guide to Construction Procurement StrategiesSarah Fox
A guide to the three most common procurement strategies used on UK construction projects:
1. Traditional or general contracting
2. Design and build
3. Management based (covering management contracting, construction management and prime contracting).
Many construction professionals stick with what they know when choosing or recommending procurement, risk and contract strategies. However, making an informed choice can reduce the risk of conflict later. The comparison of the different strategies is partly based on Which Contract? By Cox, Clamp and Lupton.
This guide was developed by Sarah Fox, author of the 500-Word Contract. Using her 20 years' experience with construction projects, she gives you the confidence to use the right contracts for project success. The right contracts depend on the right procurement and risk strategies.

UNIT II STUDY GUIDE Project Governance and Team
Each of these organizational structures has advantages and disadvantages. InUaNIfTunxcStioTnUaDl oYrgGaUnIiDzaEtional structure, the advantages include having clearly defined career path and a direct supervisor reporting
structure. In addition, the employees are experts in their fields. The disadvantages of such a structure include the following: employees’ jobs are difficult to change because they are experts in their fields, disagreement within the organization can occur due to not having enough resources to go around, each project team believing their project should be top priority, project manager has little to no authority over the project, and the project manager is usually just part-time.
In a projectized organizational structure, the advantages include a dedicated project focus, project loyalty, and efficient project organization and communication. The disadvantages of this structure include the following: once the project is gone, a person’s job could be gone; resources are siloed instead of shared; and job functions and facilities may be duplicated across the organization.
In a matrixed organizational structure, the advantages include the following: visible objectives, increased support from functional managers, project manager maintains more control over the project, job roles are more flexible jobs remain intact even when the project is complete, and project team members receive multiple inputs on their performance during the project. The disadvantages of this structure include the following: project team members have more than just one boss to answer to, projects become more complex, more policies and procedures are required, and different objectives and priorities may exist.
It is important to note that irrespective of the organizational structure, the project organization by definition is temporary. Therefore, as projects are completed, project team members return to their respective functional homes or to other projects within the organization or outside the organization. It is equally important to note that within the matrix structure, and sometimes within the functional organizational structure, project team members may not be assigned to the project 100% of the time.
Project Management Structures
An effective project management system must ensure that the strategic objectives of the organization are met while also meeting the project objectives. As a project manager, it is important to understand your organizational objectives and ensure that that your project objectives do not counter but rather, align and support the overall organizational goals. Because of the project/organization relationship, the role of authority and resource allocation between the two groups is clearly defined.
There are two major constraints from an organizational perceptive that projects are afflicted with. First, most organizations are operational by function, and their structures are designed for o ...

We all have good and bad thoughts from time to time and situation to situation. We are bombarded daily with spiraling thoughts(both negative and positive) creating all-consuming feel , making us difficult to manage with associated suffering. Good thoughts are like our Mob Signal (Positive thought) amidst noise(negative thought) in the atmosphere. Negative thoughts like noise outweigh positive thoughts. These thoughts often create unwanted confusion, trouble, stress and frustration in our mind as well as chaos in our physical world. Negative thoughts are also known as “distorted thinking”.

2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.
The Art Pastor's Guide to Sabbath | Steve ThomasonSteve Thomason
What is the purpose of the Sabbath Law in the Torah. It is interesting to compare how the context of the law shifts from Exodus to Deuteronomy. Who gets to rest, and why?
This is a presentation by Dada Robert in a Your Skill Boost masterclass organised by the Excellence Foundation for South Sudan (EFSS) on Saturday, the 25th and Sunday, the 26th of May 2024.
He discussed the concept of quality improvement, emphasizing its applicability to various aspects of life, including personal, project, and program improvements. He defined quality as doing the right thing at the right time in the right way to achieve the best possible results and discussed the concept of the "gap" between what we know and what we do, and how this gap represents the areas we need to improve. He explained the scientific approach to quality improvement, which involves systematic performance analysis, testing and learning, and implementing change ideas. He also highlighted the importance of client focus and a team approach to quality improvement.

A project organization is a structure that facilitates the coordination and
implementation of project activities. Its main reason is to create an
environment that fosters interactions among the team members with a
minimum amount of disruptions, overlaps and conflict.
6. Types of Organization for project
management / project level
Frequently used organizational forms for project level…
Classical or functional organization,
Pure project or product organization, and
Matrix organization.
• Functional matrix,
• Balanced matrix,
• Project matrix.
6
7. Functional Organization
In a functional structure, the organization is broken into
sections based upon specialty. This organization are
arranged different by function such a marketing,
engineering, production, contract, resources procurement,
HRD, etc., and each headed by a director or specialist
manager .
Its center of power and coordination in concentrated at the
top with chief executive.

11. Pure Project Organization
• Project organization is a project focused organizational structure
where project manager has the final authority over the project to
make project decisions, priorities, acquire and assign resources.
• A project organization refers specifically to an organizational
structure that has been set up in a manner in which the project
manager leads the group and in which the project manager has the
ultimate authority to make any and all decisions involving
the organization.
• In a project structure, all the work is looked at as a project. The
project manager has complete control, unlike in the functional
structure, and all team members report directly to the project
manager.
12. • Sometimes these team members are permanent, and sometimes they
are hired as temporary workers to help with the project until its
completion. If the organization takes on a large project, it will have all
the necessary resources available to sustain the project and will act
as a small, self-contained company.
• The project manager works with complete autonomy (central
authority, power) over the project, team is on the project full time and
report to the project manager.
• As a project manager, you have the responsibility to take authority,
rather than waiting for someone to give you the authority.
15. Matrix Organization
- It is used mainly in the management of large projects or product
development processes, drawing employees from different functional
disciplines for assignment to a team without removing them from their respective
positions.
- Matrix management is a type of organizational management in which people with
similar skills are pooled for work assignments.
- The matrix structure combines both the functional and project structures. Each team
member has two bosses; they report both to the functional manager and the project
manager.
- If the matrix is strong, the power resides more with the project manager.
- If the matrix is weak, the power resides more with the functional manager.
- The key is to find a balance in which the power is shared equally.
- Because of its complexity, this type of structure can lead to problems if it is not
used carefully and properly. Good communication is essential for success.
16. Matrix Organization
• This structure utilizes both the functional and divisional chains of
command simultaneously in the same part of the organization.
18. types of structure of Construction Organization /
corporate level
Depending upon the manner in which the authority and
responsibility in an organization , the structure of
construction organization level can be divided in to two
categories…
1. Line or military organization
2. Line and staff organization
18
28. Management Levels
Management level can be defined as ‘a position in management that is stratifiably
differentiable in terms of power, authority, responsibility, and accountability over
resources required to achieve defined objective(s).
Tenah (1986) identifies five management levels-
The board of directors level,
The president’s level
The construction management level
The project management level
The functional management level
