From Best Practices to Next Practices
Project-based learning in the development of large infrastructure
Over the last decades of development of knowledge management and organizational learning, there has been an increase in learning research within and across projects. Learning from past lessons in projects and preparing for the next project management practices is very important i

Fostering Ambidextrous Innovation Strategies in Large Infrastructure Projects
A Team Heterogeneity Perspective
In emerging economies, infrastructure projects are in full swing. There
is a wealth of replicable experience for exploitation. Simultaneously,
more technologies and methodologies require further exploration. This
makes fostering ambidextrous innovation strategies (i.e., the tr

Collaborate to learn and learn to collaborate
A case of exploitative learning in the inter-organizational project
Purpose: Management of inter-organizational projects focuses on the collective benefits of a group of organizations on a shared activity for a limited period and the coordination among them. However, how learning is facilitated in the inter-organizational project remains under-de
...
Fostering Ambidextrous Innovation in Infrastructure Projects
Differentiation and Integration Tactics of Cross-Functional Teams
In infrastructure project practice, balancing and maximizing the combined effect of exploratory and exploitative innovation have attracted increasing attention, but it is still unclear how to foster ambidextrous innovation in infrastructure projects. To address this gap, we draw

Explorative Learning in Infrastructure Development Megaprojects
The Case of the Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macao Bridge
Research on explorative learning has primarily focused on the organizational level. Not much research has been done at the megaproject level, which is a more complex form of organizing. Therefore, it is advisable to analyze how the pursuit of explorative learning is enabled at th

Adopting BIM to Facilitate Dispute Management in the Construction Industry
A Conceptual Framework Development
Previous studies revealed that Building Information Modeling (BIM) has the potential to reduce project uncertainties, design errors, change orders, and delays, which might facilitate achieving effective dispute management in the construction industry. However, research into the a
...
The high uncertainty of megaproject results in increasing complexity in the decisionmaking and ultimately leads to different degrees of cost overrun and project delays. One of the critical reasons for cost overrun and delay is the optimism bias of decision makers. Although the pr

Knowledge Management and Organizational Capabilities in Project settings
Unpacking Project-based Learning
Over the last 20 years, there has been an increase in the study of project-based learning to deploy knowledge management strategies and the concept of organizational capability. We address this topic in the context of infrastructure development projects. Through a review of exist

Semantic enrichment of design requirements using Object Type Libraries for automated verification
Towards automated requirements verification system
Success of the project depends on compliance to requirements amongst other things (Wheeler, 2003). This forms Requirements Management process an important step in the Systems Engineering life cycle. However, poor definition of requirements is an obstacle in automating the verific

Circularity in infrastructure projects with Early Contractor Involvement
Investigating the knowledge contribution of contractors towards circular construction in the design process
The number of raw materials consumed and waste generated by the construction industry is no longer a viable solution in the future. It is required for the construction industry to move from a linear towards a circular economy (CE) by circular construction (CC). The unfamiliarity

Organizational Impact on Project Team Efficiency
How simulations can help create a productive and efficient environment
This research tries to quantitatively identify the relation between team composition, organization structure, communication and team efficiency. The study takes a model-based approach to reach its objective. This research stresses the utility of agent-based modeling as a tool to

Scope Creep in Onshore Wind Farm Projects
A study on scope creep in on onshore wind farm projects governed by FIDIC yellow book thereby to improve project delivery
The process of execution of construction projects is subjected to multiple complexities which are highly dynamic in nature. Among several complex dynamic elements present in a project, the scope is one of the elements which is extremely important. The scope is adjusted multiple t

Knowledge sharing in agile projects
Exploring knowledge sharing patterns in agile projects around Philips Research context
The paring of knowledge sharing and agile methodology has been explained by some researchers (Dissanayake, Dantu, & Nerur, 2013), most emphasize that the knowledge sharing enablers embedded in the agile methods (Dissanayake et al., 2013), seldom researches explain agile-induced k

Elevating decision-making for maintaining inner-city quay walls
A conceptual decision-making model for implementing intervention measures
It is no secret that (asset)managers are currently dealing with a difficult task to maintain and improve the quality of their assets. The main reason for this urgency is the change of use and the end of lifespan of these assets. This is especially the case regarding the inner-cit

Cost Estimation of Construction Projects Using 5D BIM
Integrating the cost engineer in BIM-based processes through activity theory
Cost estimation of construction projects is still carried out using highly manual traditional tools and processes, which are deemed as inefficient and have a direct impact in the productivity levels of the industry. Building Information Modelling or BIM is changing the way projec

Cost-conscious designing of Dutch transportation infrastructure projects
A first explorative research into the ‘control’ based factors for reducing the front-end cost escalations
Cost overruns in infrastructure projects has been a well-known phenomenon for almost a decade. As per the generally accepted definition, the industry has been measuring cost overruns as the cost exceedance with respect to the approved contractor’s budget. But researchers are real

Process standardization in the construction industry
An explorative study into the right balance between standardization and flexibility
Today’s rising project complexity in combination with the changing economic environment has led to an increased interest in improving organizational business processes. Large multinational companies were always affected by those two factors in a greater extent than other smaller
...
Infrastructure mega-projects are highly important for economic and societal growth, but they are also extremely susceptible to a high degree of risks leading to massive delays. These delays affect not only the project schedule but also the cost and the quality. The delay events a

BIM for BREEAM-NL assessments
An implementation strategy based on BIM Maturity
As climate change concerns increase, more and more clients are aiming for higher sustainability ratings for their properties. Green building assessments are of great importance to stimulate the sustainable paradigm shift within the Architecture, Engineering and Construction indus

Water resilience against climate change
‘The Dutch are not going to lose against the sea’, is a commonly accepted quote of the citizens of The Netherlands. Having developed a country below sea level, Dutch people are aware of the challenges of the sea, but are committed in an endless fight against it. Nowadays, with gl
