Assessment of Construction Industry Project Management Practices and Performance

CII’s Strategic Plan, developed by the Strategic Planning Committee (SPC), provides direction and operating principles and is intended as a guide for planning and execution of institute activities. The planning horizon is three to five years and is to be reviewed annually to ensure it remains timely and relevant. The Executive Committee and the Board of Advisors approve any revisions to the plan and oversee the formation of new committees, communities of practice and teams needed to lead and manage existing and new CII activities.

In 2008, the Strategic Planning Committee conducted an environmental scan consisting of two main components: Emerging Trends and Blue Sky Visioning. Emerging Trends focus on the immediate future impacting the next three to five years, while the focus of Blue Sky Visioning is centered on a more distant timeframe within the next 15‐20 years. Even though the two components focused on different timetables, the topics of an increasingly global society and heightened emphasis on sustainability emerged as being important to each discussion. Each component also includes discussion on the changing role that technology plays in the development of the capital facility development process.
