FPS Delivering More Integrated Teams

The UK architectural, engineering and construction (AEC) industry is critically aware of the need to change to meet its Client demands for greater efficiency, better quality and improved value. In 'Accelerating Change' (2002), its Strategic Forum, chaired by Sir John Egan, its vision is "for the UK construction industry to be consistently world class in delivering products and services that maximise value for clients and end users, and exceed expectations." The Forum identified three main drivers to secure a culture of continuous improvement:

• the need for client leadership
• the need for integrated teams
• the need to address 'people issues', especially health and safety.

The objective of an integrated team is regarded by Egan as the key theme, and anything that can facilitate and enhance collaborative working will have great impact. FPS is actively collaborating in a strategic partnership with BIW Technologies to offer unique business applications to do just that, helping organisations by:

• promoting integrated team working
• enhancing health and safety
• reducing risk
• integrating disparate technologies
• managing whole-life asset performance
• encouraging re-use of information
• helping organisations to re-engineer their business processes, both internally and with their supply chains

FPS Commitment to Collaboration

"The process of shared creation: two or more individuals with complementary skills interacting to create a shared understanding that none had previously possessed or could have come to on their own."

(Michael Schrage, Shared Minds: the New Technologies of Collaboration, 1990)

As this suggests, collaboration is a process of value creation that cannot be achieved through traditional communication and teamwork structures. The key requirement is an environment to which authorised collaborators have equal access, and which they can use to interact in real-time towards the achievement of agreed objectives. Effectively, this becomes a collaborative framework that people can use to create synergies, where the outputs from the group are greater than the sum of all individuals' expertise and knowledge inputs.

Whether for individual projects or for multi-project programmes of work, FPS can bring you individually tailored solutions with BIW Technologies collaborative business applications which enable creative interaction between participants.

Our Clients and their supply chain partners may be unsure about which way to proceed to identify and implement the most effective Knowledge Management web based platform. FPS has worked closely with BIW Technologies so that together we can help Clients respond to a range of both tactical and strategic business options, including:

• displaying timely and valuable management information as a by-product of day-to-day activities
• producing lifecycle information, especially on costs, for re-use on subsequent projects
• benchmarking by setting performance indicators (eg: drawing approval times, team participation and contribution, etc)

FPS & BIW Information Channel™ Collaboration

Easily accessed online, the core service, BIW Information Channel™, is a sophisticated web-based communication platform, originally designed specifically to underpin projects or work programmes as a whole-life solution. It meets the information requirements of the many different organisations, professions and disciplines involved throughout the life-cycles of schemes or series of projects - owners, funders, design teams, main contractors, subcontractors, operations teams, maintenance organisations, auditors, insurers and other stakeholders.

FPS has now worked closely with BIW Technologies to go a step further and we can now offer an Asset Management based application with all the functionality of the BIW Information Channel™ and much more.
