Overview Capital project owners, engineering, procurement, and construction contractors and supporting service organizations are searching for means to dramatically reduce the cost of capital projects. Owners/ Operators are driving change through contracting strategy, contract language, contract deliverables and performance metrics. In response, EPC companies are striving to attain productivity improvements by utilizing plant design, material management, and construction software and technology platforms.

Endeavor enables its clients to integrate people, processes and tools. Often our client is a diverse group of thought leaders whose objective is to identify issues and seek improvement in data accuracy, visibility and integration across the project life cycle. Endeavor brings expert advice, impartial perspective and change management tools to the solution space.

Our Understanding of the Need There is the lack of communication and alignment between EPC Contractor requirements and software-‐provider products and solutions. Project delivery organizations are inherently process-‐centric. Software and technology is recognized as an enabler, not a panacea. New technology platforms often do not mirror existing work processes, thus delaying and diminishing capture of desired productivity (business value proposition). Preparing software end users to see and accept how changes impact their daily work is essential to realizing a quicker return on investment.

Some examples of areas that are challenged by the alignment of people, processes and tools are:

• Transparency in the flow of design and materials data • Standardization of work processes, systems, and organizations across multiple locations

or companies • Selection of systems that improve net overall value of essential EPC work processes • Rework due scope changes, errors, and design omissions • Communication gaps between home office engineering and the field • Construction productivity • Work processes and systems enabling increased savings from facility modularization • Identifying changes in work processes and roles required resulting from deployment of a

new technology platform



Bringing Organization Change Management (OCM) Solutions Recognizing that systemic changes may be required in project delivery organization culture, strategy, leadership, work processes and tools, Endeavor enables our clients to capture and sustain the benefit of these changes with a suite of proprietary change management tools that can be tailored for fit-‐for-‐purpose application to each client’s objectives. Core elements of Endeavor’s proprietary transformational change process (e4) include:

1. Envision • The Business Case for Change • Key Success Metrics • Risk Management

2. Engage • Stakeholder Identification and Alignment • Culture Change • Change Leadership • Interface Management • Change Readiness

3. Energize • Impact on Work Processes and Procedures • Requirement for new or revised roles • Communication Planning

4. Enable • Deployment Planning, including Training • Mechanism to gather and respond to organization feedback

Our thought leaders combine a unique experience of capital project execution with change leadership expertise. Following a brief overview of our methodology, Endeavor’s project advisors partner with client leadership in engagement design to define the following:

1. Define the current state. 2. Envision the desired state. 3. Create a Transition and Adoption Roadmap to achieve to the desired state.

Because our project advisors each have more than 30 years of direct experience in project execution and a deep understanding of the fundamentals of organization change, we are able to rapidly assess gaps and propose solutions.
