IntroductIon FroM tHe IPMa VIce PreSIdent awardS nIno grauThere is no doubt that project management is the wave of the future. Project oriented organisations have to deal with an increasing number of more and more complex projects, programs and portfolios. Customers expect better results in less time with fewer resources. It is not enough to perform very well to stay competitive. In many cases only excellent projects are good enough. But how can we know whether our projects are excellent?

IPMA supports the global project management community with a unique benchmarking tool. The IPMA Project Excellence Model allows assessment even of very different projects. This model and the mature assessment process are the basis for the assessment of projects for the IPMA International Project Excellence Award. Experienced assessors have been using this method successfully for years.

In a tough process of competition, excellent projects from all over the world have been chosen to be awarded during the IPMA World congress in Brisbane, Australia.

Now we are happy to be able to present these projects to the global project manager community and encourage project managers to follow these exemplary achievements. We congratulate project teams who have not only shown an outstanding performance but are also willing to share their experience with the project manager family for the advancement of the fi eld of project management and the benefi t of all interested parties.

Project:

Qatar Modular Replacement

organisation:

GE Oil & Gas - Contractual Services

QatarGas (QG) Frame 5 Modular Replacement (MR) project covers implementation of new MR maintenance philosophy on General Electric (GE) Frame 5 heavy-duty mechanical drive gas turbines. Under a QG-GE Contractual Service Agreement, these turbines require ‘Major Inspection’ each 48,000 working hours. This usually takes 28 days to complete. MR was applied in a cascade process to all QatarGas 1’s Train 1, 2 and 3 turbines. The project consists of four phases: Planning and Engineering study, Procurement of new modules, Installation, and Module repair and storage. GE supported QG further in establishing and certifying Qatar Service Centre (QSC) to repair modules and store turbines between repair cycles. The fi rst three-year cycle saw repair of 15 turbines.

Project: New Public Hospital in Legnano

organisation: Techint Engineering & Construction

In terms of architectural structure and functions, the aim was to design a hospital that would be patient-friendly and, equally, technological and up-to-date: the principle of patient centrality and effi cient delivery of medical services adopted by Techint as a hospital constructor and manager was enhanced here by cutting-edge technology and by a functional needs analysis, used as the basis for the structural organisation of the hospital. The innovative typological model provides for the different sectors to interface with one another through a two-way structural grid: this moves away from the concepts of the mat and the monoblock toward a single area where all functions can be hosted almost without distinction.
