Strategy Mapping Conclusions and Actions • Strategy Mapping revealed our Strategic Objectives are outcomes focused on facilitating life cycle management of NIH capital projects. The goal is ensuring our IC customers are getting the best value for their budgets. The strategy map showed the linkage between improving our core competencies and achieving our goal for better project management to avoid costly mistakes and keep the customer satisfied through improved communications. • We used the map to help establish our high impact objectives. We then were able to focus on establishing a few critical measures to achieve our key objectives.
Customer Perspective Critical Measures
Objective C1. Increase Customer Satisfaction Measure C1.1 Satisfaction Score on Team SurveyThe Benchmark Survey measures critical interpersonal skills used on a project. It should be repeated monthly to identify trends to which the project team should respond. Project Team Benchmark Survey Please rate these items on the indicated scale. These factors should be based on your experience with design/construction in the past. It is a general impression based on your overall experience.

Project Team Survey Scorecard Methodology • FY 04 will be the first year DCPM implements a Project Team Survey. We will use the Project Team Survey method that has been practiced with success in the private sector. • A Project Team, consisting of DCPM project staff, IC staff, A/E staff and others is created for every capital project. We will survey these teams at least twice yearly. With the help of a facilitator, the Team will recommend the actions to be taken to address issues resulting from the scores. Selected team members, with the assistance of the Project Manager, will be responsible for implementing recommended actions. • A sample of the Project Team Survey is included.
Objective: IB2. Improve Timeliness of response and service delivery.Measure: IB2.1 Projects reporting late
What does Internal Business Data tell us? • If behind on the goals, it will show us where we need to change. • DCPM needs to more clearly define the information it needs on each project and how best to collect it until EVA is fully implemented. • Project Managers need training and controls to support implementation of the data collection system.
Learning & Growth Critical Measures
Objective L1. Build a climate of trust Measure L.1.2: Project Manager time spent
What does this Internal L& G tell us? • DCPM needs a better way of tracking time spent by Project Managers. • Once an improved system is in place, we should be able to identify how effectively we are using our professional resources. • An improved system will also help us identify the need for additional contract support. • An improved system will help us identify budget requirements for staffing.
Financial Perspective Critical Measures
Objective F1. Minimize unit costsMeasure F1.1 Compare Yr to Yr Service Cost to Construction $ “Soft” cost is the cost of the professional services on a project, including fee-for-service, construction quality management (CQM), costs of studies, and design. Louis Stokes Research Center, Building 50 Construction cost: $100,402,427 Soft costs: $15,041,343 Soft cost/Dollar construction: $.15 Bumpers Vaccine Research Center, Building 40 Construction cost: $29,119,328 Soft costs: $3,226,048 Soft cost/Dollar construction: $.11 East Day Care Center, Building 64 Construction cost: $3,800,000 Soft costs: $700,000 Soft cost/Dollar construction: $.18 Comparative figures from government and private industry* Navy, Soft cost/Dollar construction: $.12 (Was $.16 before soft costs were subsidized) GSA, Soft cost/Dollar construction: $.18 (Includes high-end AE/CM, plus average 6% FFS) Private Industry, $.16 (high-end AE/CM) *These figures were provided by Logistics Management, Inc. “High-end” figures were used to reflect that NIH facilities are, almost without exception, high-end projects that include laboratory and animal care space rather than just office or living space.
What does this Financial data tell us? • It identifies the makeup of all the costs associated with DCPM delivery of services. • It helps establish baselines for ongoing and future project developments. • It provides some basis for comparison with other similar service organizations.
Conclusions DCPM needs to adopt the EVM approach for qualified projects and have a consistent method of reporting schedule and budget across the project portfolio. Those capital projects not currently using EVM as a control need to have formal reporting criteria established to ensure that project status is accurately reflected. DCPM needs to have a more accurate means of tracking distribution of staff time. Our key initiatives for FY 04 and FY 05: Develop and Implement the Project Team Survey Establish reporting criteria for all capital projects Develop a Communications Protocol to ensure that customers, DCPM personnel, contractors/partners, and all stakeholders are up to date and fully knowledgeable about project status, and to help NIH senior management, and DHHS better understand our business.
