AN UPDATED version of a collaborative toolkit for project professionals in the oil and gas sector will launch in Aberdeen tomorrow.
The Project Collaboration Toolkit Edition 2 will be rolled out by the Engineering Construction Industry Training Board (ECITB) at an event held at Norwood House Hotel.
The practical ‘go-to’ guide is aimed at supporting and benefitting projects through improved collaboration and smarter ways of working across the engineering construction industry.
The original toolkit was developed following the publication of the Wood Report in 2014, which advocated greater collaboration in the oil and gas sector.
Chris Claydon, ECITB chief executive, said that while the UK oil and gas sector has shown recent signs of recovery, margins remain tight making it an opportune time to help project managers deliver greater value.
He said: “Edition 2 is a revised version of the original toolkit and builds on the successful application of this framework, which has already proven its worth in enhancing project delivery.
“Having seen the Project Collaboration Toolkit work successfully in oil and gas, the ECITB is now keen to share the benefits of collaboration in project delivery by encouraging its adoption on capital projects throughout all other UK industry sectors.”
Developed in conjunction with the Oil & Gas Project Management Steering Group (OPMSG) and endorsed by a number of organisations, including OGUK and the Oil & Gas Authority (OGA), the toolkit focuses on the behavioural aspects of project management.
