Change Management

Change is inevitable. Major capital projects involve many decisions that have to be made based on incomplete information, assumptions and the personal experience of project professionals. This often leads to changes which can interrupt the flow of work, create delays, cause schedule slippage and inflate costs. The Construction Industry Institute identifies Change Management as having the highest cost impact to owners and contractors of all construction capital project practices (CII; Benchmarking & Metrics Value of Best Practices Report, 2003, p30-32). Unfortunately the owner and contractor will seldom agree on the total effect of change, which can lead to dissatisfaction and costly litigation. Managing change effectively is crucial to the success of a project.

While almost all projects have documented change processes, relatively few have applied electronic systems or process automation. Coreworx Change Management is a solution that effectively manages the integrated change control process, incorporating industry best practices to monitor and control major capital projects.

Coreworx Change Management provides a secure online collaborative environment where project team members can submit a change request for prompt evaluation and classification. Changes may be identified by external parties such as a customer, contractor or subcontractor. A preliminary assessment of potential impact as well as identifying document requirements readies the change request for approval or rejection. All affected parties are kept informed of the change status and real-time monitoring of key metrics gives stakeholders complete visibility to every change. A detailed audit trail of events and performers ensures traceability on every change.
