Winners/Runners-up

Rob Ebsworth – SDC (Innovation Competition Runner-up)

‘SDC Employee Benefit Trust (EBT) Innovation Report’

Rob has been a Commercial Director for SDC for 20 years. Rob’s primary directorial responsibilities include sales, marketing and pre-construction activities and Director of Safety, a role which seeks to ensure SDC is a ‘safe place to work’.

SDC operates as a regional construction and development organisation. Originally privately owned by its 3 principal shareholders the SDC ownership has now been transferred, following the purchase of the shareholding by the business, into the ownership of all its employees and operates as an Employee Benefit Trust (EBT).

Rob has been at the forefront of the development of the EBT. Originally established in an embryonic form during 2003, the structure of the EBT has subsequently been set in place and the real tangible benefits for everyone at SDC are now being seen through the sharing of benefits by all its employees, resultant from the success of the business.

“The sounds of ‘its our business’, ‘we’re spending our money’ heard throughout the company are a very real sign that the EBT is achieving what it set out to achieve, a business for our clients and a business owned by, and for all of its employees.”Rob Ebsworth, SDC 2008

Rob Ebsworth’s report looks at the problem SDC faced in 2007, when the shareholders wished to retire. To resolve the problem SDC looked into an Employee Benefit Trust (EBT) which was a success and the report then analyses the benefits it has brought to the company.

Rob Ebsworth

Judges Comments:

“This is a truly innovative approach to a very special situation. A business continues to operate that otherwise might have been lost to the industry.”

Aini Jaapar MCIOB (Faculty of Architecture and Surveying FAS Award Runner-up)

‘Value Management Guidelines for the Malaysian Construction Industry’

Aini Jaapar is the Head of Graduate Studies (Coursework) of The Institute of Graduate Studies; as well as a Senior Lecturer at the Quantity SurveyingDepartment, Faculty of Architecture, Planning and Surveying, Universiti Teknologi MARA (UiTM) in Malaysia.

She is one of the founding and active council members of Institute of Value Management Malaysia (IVMM). For her PhD research VM documents, literature reviews, questionnaire surveys, interviews and observations were uniquely juxtaposed in a holistic blend to obtain the data desired in order to map the landscape of VM field for the Malaysian construction industry. As a result, in 2006 she produced the Prototype Guidelines of VM Application for the Malaysian Construction Industry to encourage further application of VM methodology in a consistent manner.

“Even though the Malaysian economy has been a strong performer over the past few years and one of the most dynamic economies in Asia, it is observed that its construction industry currently fails to routinely satisfy its clients… As Malaysia progresses towards a developed nation status, the contribution of the construction industry in Malaysia towards the development process is of paramount importance. It is in this context that VM can be considered valuable as its application can lead to significant saving leading to better value and better functional completed construction projects.”Aini Jaapar MCIOB, VM Guidelines for the Malaysian Construction Industry, 2008

“By having a set of prototype VM Guidelines, the potential users of VM in the future can apply the VM process systematically and confidently. The prototype VM Guidelines, which were described in detail were designed to be informative and user friendly, aimed to ensure the future VM applications would be structured according to the internationally practise of VM methodology.”Aini Jaapar MCIOB, VM Guidelines for the Malaysian Construction Industry, 2008

Aini Jaapar MCIOB

Judges Comments:

“This entry, developed within the context of the Malaysian construction industry is highly contextual and illustrates clearly that innovation has to be relative to where the industry and its participants might be. This work can also be of benefit to many other parts of the world.”

Richard Lee Rye (International Construction Project Management Association ICPMA Award Runner-up)

‘Risk Based Project Management for Capital Construction: Introducing RiskBasePM as a process framework’

Rick has over 30 years experience of project, program, and construction management experience most of which have been related to heavy engineered structures, transportation, and civil infrastructure. His 28 years with Fluor have provided significant project challenges and opportunities that led him to developing integrated risk-based processes for managing his projects and programs.

He successfully led the risk management on: • The $2 billion World Trade Center Transportation

Hub Project• The $4.55 billion Federal Transit Administration

Lower Manhattan Recovery Program (the rebuilding effort following the September 11 terrorist attacks)

• A $36.6 billion FTA New York Regional Transportation Program.

These were a portfolio of projects that were the largest and most complex of all transportation infrastructure efforts in America.

As a Fluor programme director, Rick continues to emphasize risk assessment and mitigation actions while pursuing public-private partnership opportunities in the large transportation infrastructure market in the New York City metropolitan area. He has contributed significantly to the professional development series of the Construction Management Association of America by lecturing on risk management frameworks and its applications.
