Stakeholder
engagement series
This paper is part two of series of ar cles exploring stakeholder engagement. The ar cles were compiled for an engineering masters program specifically designed to improve students under-standing of stakeholder engagement as applied to their workplace and projects
Part1 Stakeholder engagement start with you
Stakeholder engagement starts with you, the manager, it will not happen without you. If you choose to ignore stakeholder engagement, the success of your project and your own reputa on is at stake; whilst specialists can guide the engagement process, it is the manager that lends the authen city and the commitment in the eyes of the stakeholders. Stakeholder engagement is all about people and not a technical ac vity: involving and influencing stakeholders to be part of your project. Since people are involved it can be exhilara ng or confronta onal, produc ve or disrup-ve, and it’s up to you because the success from stakeholder engagement comes from you.
Part 2 Stakeholder engagement in large infrastructure projects
I hope you enjoy this ar cle and share this with your colleagues so we can all improve how we engage stakeholders on our projects.
Part 3 Stakeholder engagement within virtual teams
Virtual teams are now becoming the norm in business. A virtual team is a group of individuals working across different me zones, cultures and languages, who are all united by a common goal. Virtual teams have advantages in terms of cost savings and improved produc vity. In contrast, the challenges are significant because of the reliance on electronic communica ons and the poten al conflict and lack of trust and collabora on. This ar cle explores stakeholder engagement in virtual teams.

Abstract
Stakeholder engagement is a cri cal success factor in infrastructure projects. El-Gohary (2006) discusses public opposi on has been reported as one of the main reasons infrastruc-ture projects fail. The importance of stakehold-er engagement is further reinforced with an industry shi to structure projects as public private partnership which compound complexi-ty. Stakeholder engagement on large infra-structure projects is very complex. To help understand these complex rela onships, we will use a recent case study on the Sydney Met-ro Northwest project.
Large infrastructure projects have different types of rela onship that need to be effec vely managed. Projects are made up of both inter-nal and external stakeholders. De Schepper discusses (2014) three possible types of rela-onships, a public/public rela onship, a public/
private rela onship and private/private rela-onship.
Stakeholder engagement conversa ons and complexity vary over the project lifecycle. Within a large infrastructure project there are both ver cal and horizontal rela onships. The ver cal rela onships describe the type of con-versa ons being undertaken by key stakehold-ers, are they strategic, opera onal and/or tac -cal? The horizontal rela onships reflect the complexity of stakeholder engagement across a phase of the project lifecycle.
This paper will ini ally explore why stakeholder engagement is a cri cal success factor. The Sydney Metro Northwest case study is dis-cussed to provide context for the discussions, and then the types of stakeholder rela onships on large infrastructure projects are considered. Finally, stakeholder engagement rela onships are mapped to the project lifecycle in terms of agencies/industry, client/contract, consor um partners/subcontractors,contract/project team and operators/agencies.

It’s a cri cal success
factor
Stakeholder engagement is a cri cal success factor in infrastructure projects. El-Gohary (2006) discusses public opposi on has been reported as one of the main reasons infrastruc-ture projects fail. The causes are as relevant today as when the ar cle was wri en and in-clude, the public not being aware of the pro-ject, not sufficiently educated about the pro-jects and denied access to detailed informa on contained in the consor um proposal. This results in the public not trus ng infrastructure projects.
This importance of stakeholder engagement is further supported with a shi within the indus-try to establish projects as a public private part-nership (PPP). The World Bank defines a PPP as “a long-term contract between a private party and a government en ty, for providing a public
asset or service, in which the private party bears significant risk and management respon-sibility, and remunera on is linked to perfor-mance". With private consor ums taking on more risk as part of delivering an infrastructure project, their exposure is even higher as stake-holder engagement in a PPP environment be-comes even more complex.
Effec ve stakeholder engagement is fundamen-tal to delivering a successful infrastructure pro-ject. The impact of not doing it, far outweighs the me spent to align stakeholders onto the same page.

Stakeholder engagement on large infrastruc-ture projects is very complex. To help under-stand these complex rela onships, we will use a recent case study, our goal is to make the discussions relevant by drawing back to the case study. Sydney Metro is Australia’s largest public transport infrastructure project. The $8.3 Billion Sydney Metro Northwest, formerly the North West Rail Link, is the first stage of Sydney Metro. Metro City & Southwest is the second stage (refer Sydney Metro North West home page)
Sydney Metro Northwest will be the first fully-automated metro rail system in Australia. It is on track to open to customers in the first half of 2019. Sydney Metro Northwest will deliver eight new railway sta ons and 4,000 commuter car parking spaces to Sydney’s growing North West. Trains will operate every four minutes in
the peak with at least 15 trains an hour. Cus-tomers won’t need a metable, you’ll just turn up and go.
Sydney Metro Northwest will deliver, for the first me, a reliable public transport service to a region which has the highest car ownership levels per household in Australia. Over the coming decades, an extra 200,000 people will move into Sydney’s North West, taking its pop-ula on above 600,000, twice the size of Can-berra. The project includes construc on of twin 15 km tunnels from Bella Vista to Epping which are Australia’s longest rail tunnels.
The Sydney Metro Northwest project is a won-derful example of a complex infrastructure project that we can use to understand the com-plexity of stakeholder engagement

Rela onships on
large projects
Large infrastructure projects have different types of rela onship that need to be effec vely managed. Projects are made up of both inter-nal and external stakeholders. The graphic (figure 4) shows the types of rela onships, with internal stakeholders at the centre surrounded by external stakeholders.
External stakeholders
O en there is a high level of mistrust within external stakeholders, as they feel they have limited control, and say in the decision making process within the project. For example, com-munity groups feel the project has an already defined agenda, regardless of their input. Neighbouring residen al property owners who happen to fall on the proposed rail line, feel they will have their proper es taken and be unfairly treated. An adjacent primary school feels the commuter car parking will increase traffic flow and place their children at increased risk. Because of the high levels of mistrust, De Schepper (2014) stresses the importance of including external stakeholders upfront when planning large infrastructure projects.
Internal stakeholders
When considering internal stakeholders on large projects, De Schepper discusses three possible types of rela onships, a public/public rela onship, a public/private rela onship and private/private rela onship, as seen in figure 4.
Public / public rela onship
A public/public rela onship is between the government department responsible for suc-cessful project delivery, in the Sydney Metro Northwest case study, this is the ‘Transport for NSW’s rela onship with par cipa ng govern-ment agencies. For example, in building the new rail line, ‘Transport for NSW’ will need to involve various state ministers, agencies such as Department of Primary Industries - Fisheries, Sydney trains, Roads and Mari me services, EPA and a number of local councils. Already the level of complexity is apparent, all these agencies have to come to some form of agree-ment for the project to progress and there will be conflic ng priori es.
Public / private rela onship
A public/private rela onship is between the ini ator of the project, ‘Transport for NSW’ and private consor ums. For example, in building the rail line, ‘Transport for NSW’ divided the work into a number of major packages, this work was tendered and a number private con-sor ums were formed such as Thiess, John Holland and Dragados who successfully won the contract to build the tunnels, sta ons and civil works. This rela onship is o en described as the client/contract rela onship.

external stakeholders’

Figure 4: Types of stakeholder rela onships
Private / private rela onship
A private/private rela onship is between the players within the private consor um partners and their subcontractors. For example, the Thiess, John Holland and Dragados consor um has engaged a number of specialised subcon-tractors to help with environmental require-ments, design and construc on work. Each party will have their own interests as a priority.
Stakeholders have a rela onship with each other
It’s important to recognise internal stakehold-ers have a rela onship with each other, howev-er as shown by figure 4, the external
stakeholders surround the internal stakehold-ers, so the project also has a rela onship with external stakeholders. As the internal stake-holders progress the project, they will impact the external stakeholders, at the same me the external stakeholder will impact the project and internal stakeholders. For this reason, on large infrastructure project the different types of rela onships need to be effec vely managed if the project is to become a success.

Types of
rela onships
Stakeholder engagement conversa ons and complexity vary over the project lifecycle. Within a large infrastructure project there are both ver cal and horizontal rela onships.
Ver cal rela onships
The ver cal rela onships describe the type of conversa ons being undertaken by key stake-holders, are they strategic, opera onal and/or tac cal? As shown in figure 5, these types of conversa ons are driven by the phase of the project lifecycle. For example, during concept phase government agencies and industry repre-senta ves come together to develop possible concepts for a major project. As the project progresses into feasibility the conversa ons change to opera onal as consor um partners begin to plan how the work could be done. Moving into execu on the conversa ons be-come more tac cal to ensure the work gets done effec vely.
Horizontal rela onships
The horizontal rela onships reflect the com-plexity of stakeholder engagement across a phase of the project lifecycle. During concept there are only a few stakeholders. For exam-ple, agencies and industry coming together
while liaising with the community to test concepts and possible ideas. As the project progresses through the lifecycle phases the number of stakeholders increase.
This increase is visually represented in figure 5 by the growing width of the oval shaded areas, and peaks during the execu on phase, before ramping back during opera ons. During execu-on, consor um partners have their teams on
the ground working together, and working with government agencies and the community to get the work done. As the stakeholder num-bers increase, so does the complexity of stake-holder engagement.
It’s important to recognise communica ons are o en drawn up and down ver cal rela on-ships. For example, the project may be in exe-cu on although conversa ons may have to be directed back to feasibility to confirm the scope, and then back to concept to confirm the business case. There are up and down conver-sa ons throughout the life of the project.

Stakeholder engagement types of conversa-ons and complexity vary over the project
lifecycle. This is more pronounced on large infrastructure projects due to the large numbers of stakeholders, complexity of the contractual arrangement and the size of the project.
The remainder of this ar cle explores each phase of the project lifecycle using the Sydney Metro Northwest project as a case study.

Agencies/Industry (Concept phase)
Strategic conversa ons between agencies and industry can take many years to develop innova ve concepts. The Sydney Metro North project was originally announced in 1998, the project went through a number of different governments and was eventually parked and then resurfaced in 2010.
During these years, mul ple government agen-cies and industry experts from around the world, worked together to develop possible concepts and a viable business case. The com-munity was also engaged to help influence the corridor and sta on loca ons.
These strategic conversa ons should not be rushed, it takes me for agencies, industry and the community to develop concepts and build genuine project momentum.

Agencies and industry con nue to work togeth-er to develop both the project and possible delivery strategies. During this prefeasibility phase, conversa ons remain strategic and the number of stakeholders con nue to increase. With the project approved to con nue devel-opment, government agencies and industry con nue to develop the concepts and transi-on these into various procurement models
which eventuate in a client/contract rela on-ship. The Sydney Metro Northwest project procurement models focused on transferring risk from the government to the private sector as shown in figure 6.
The procurement was broken down into five major packages as shown in figure 7. Three of these five packages were released to industry via forums in order to test the market and suitability of the procurement model.
The design and construct Tunnels and Sta on Civil works (TSC) had more than 320 people represen ng 170 na onal and interna onal firms a ended the briefing. The design and construct Surface and Viaduct Civil Works (SVC) had more than 100 people represen ng Australian and overseas companies a ended
the industry briefing. Finally, the design, build, operate and maintain contract (Opera ons, Trains and Systems Public Private Partnership – OTS PPP) had more than 70 mee ngs with in-dustry both in Australia and overseas. These important stakeholder engagement conversa-ons helped to shape how the Sydney Metro
Northwest project could be delivered in a cli-ent/contract rela onship.
Effec ve stakeholder engagement is cri cal between agencies and industry, for a viable delivery strategy to be iden fied. ‘Transport for NSW’ recognised without strong industry par cipa on, the project could not progress. The government was not just looking for some-one to help build the project, in the case of the OTS PPP they also wanted industry to help fund the project.

Consor um partners/
Subcontractors (Feasibility)
Consor um partners have different cultures and drivers that need to be worked through to deliver a successful project. During this feasi-bility phase the conversa ons move to opera-onal as consor um partners and their subcon-
tractors begin to work with each other to scope and es mate the work outlined in the major packages. With more people becoming in-volved, the number of stakeholders con nues to increase as does stakeholder engagement complexity.
Sydney Metro Northwest project’s three major packages were tendered and a number of con-sor ums bid for the work. Three successful consor ums were awarded the contract.
TSC works ($1.15 Billion) was awarded to Thiess, John Holland, Dragados
SVC work ($340 Million) was awarded to Impregilo Salini JV (ISJV), and the
OTS PPP ($3.7 Billion) was awarded to Northwest Rapid Transit consor um made up of MTR Corpora on, John Holland, Leighton Contractors, UGL Rail Services and investor called the Plenary Group.
During this phase of the Sydney Metro North-west project, different companies came togeth-
er in consor ums to bid work, some had rela-onships with each other, while for others this
was the first me they have worked together. The consor um members are separate compa-nies who have their own culture and drivers. For example, John Holland is owned by China Communica ons Construc on, MTR Corpora-on has 27000 employees and is from Hong
Kong and Impregilo Salini is from Italy.
Each company has their own vision, values, norms, systems, language and beliefs which will all effect how they work together. Each compa-ny has their own business drivers, for example the size of their profit margin, one company may be happy to forgo something to fulfil their strategic goal of breaking into the Australian market. Then there is, the contract condi ons that consor um members will agree to work under, who will take the risk within the project. Now overlay the culture and drivers of ‘Transport for NSW’ who are the client.
Effec ve stakeholder engagement is cri cal if the consor um partners are to establish clear goals and agree how to work with each other.

Stakeholders engagement becomes very com-plex as stakeholders deliver the project. During the execu on phase, the conversa ons became tac cal and stakeholder complexity reaches its peak as the Sydney Metro Northwest contracts are delivered by project teams. For example, to deliver the Tunnel Services and Civil (TSC) works, Thiess, John Holland, Dragados consor -um formed a project team, bringing on their employees and subcontractors and the people who will actually do the work. The number of stakeholders increase as the work ramps up to meet project milestones. An internal stakehold-er engagement plan is required to ensure con-sor um partners are up to date and communi-ca ng effec vely amongst each other.
The client, ‘Transport for NSW’ also introduces a key stakeholder, an independent cer fier to represent them and liaise with the consor um to sign off quality and progress of work. At this point external stakeholder engagement needs to also ramp up. A community liaison imple-menta on plan was created by the consor um to ensure external stakeholders such as state government departments, corpora ons and agencies are engaged. Local councils, communi-ty groups, u li es, transport and traffic, emer-gency services, neighboring projects, neighbor-ing property owners and tenants all have to be engaged as part of the project and included in the plan (refer Community Liaison Implementa-on Plan North West Rail Link – TSC works)
Now add to this complex environment, both the Surface and Viaduct Civil (SVC) Works con-tract and the Opera ons, Trains and Systems
Public Private Partnership (OTS PPP). The level of complexity has increased significantly and makes stakeholder engagement very complex. It’s not only the number of stakeholders, it is also their interac on across the project. For example, John Holland have separate project teams in both the TSC works and the OTS PPP.
It’s vital to recognise stakeholders have differ-ent objec ves. At the highest level ‘Transport for NSW’ wants a rail link that the public will ac vely use, the consor um and subcontrac-tors want to make a profit, government agen-cies want to represent their interest and the community wants to be treated fairly and in-volved in the decision making.
During execu on these objec ves will be tested as stakeholders go about their work and deliver the project. For example, when building a sta-on, it becomes clear something was missed in
the design, who will pay for the changes, when the community are unhappy with increased traffic in the local area, who will pay for the delays and disrup on to the project schedule. On large infrastructure projects there are hun-dreds of examples that will test the rela on-ships between the stakeholders.
This is where, all the good, posi ve stakeholder engagement that was done in the early phases of the lifecycle, starts to pay dividends. If stake-holders have established trust between each other, they are more likely to work through the issues together and solve problems. This effec-ve problem solving helps to ensure a success-
ful project.

Operators/Agencies (Opera ons)
Stakeholder engagement rela onships change from project centric to opera ons centric. Dur-ing the opera ons phase, conversa ons remain tac cal as the operator and agencies ensure an enduring licence to operate. The Sydney Metro Northwest will be operated by Northwest Rap-id Transit (NRT) consor um under a 15-year contract referred to, the Opera ons, Trains and Systems Public Private Partnership (OTS PPP). The consor um is responsible for customer service delivery, opera ons, and maintenance of the Sydney Metro Northwest.
There is a shi from project based measures to ongoing business measures. For example, NRT has to meet strict performance targets includ-ing 98 per cent on- me running and having trains available 99.5 per cent of the me. Northwest Rapid Transit will not be paid for the
number of people who use the North West Rail Link. To be paid, it will need to meet important customer service contract requirements like running trains on me and making sure trains and sta ons are kept clean. If these customer service standards are not met, financial penal-es have been wri en into the opera ng con-
tract (refer Opera ons, Trains and Systems Contract overview). NRT will also have to work closely with the government agencies and the community to ensure Sydney Metro Northwest has an enduring licence to operate.
Stakeholder engagement rela onships change from project delivery conversa ons to an ongo-ing engagement of stakeholders who are im-pacted by the day-to-day running of the rail service.

Conclusion
Stakeholder engagement is a cri cal success factor in infrastructure projects. Failure to do stakeholder engagement is a key reason why projects fail. Large infrastructure projects have numerous and different types of rela onships that need to be effec vely managed.
Projects are made up of both internal and ex-ternal stakeholders. O en there is a high level of mistrust within external stakeholders, as they feel they have limited control, and say in the decision making process within the project. When considering internal stakeholders on large projects, De Schepper discusses three possible types of rela onship. A public/public rela onship is between the government de-partment responsible for successful project delivery and the par cipa ng government agencies. A public/private rela onship is be-tween the government ini ator of the project and private consor ums. Finally, a private/private rela onship is between the players within the private consor um and their sub-contractors. It’s important to recognise inter-nal stakeholders have a rela onship with each other and a rela onship with external stake-holders.
Stakeholder engagement conversa ons and complexity vary over the project lifecycle. Within a large infrastructure project there are both ver cal and horizontal rela onships. The ver cal rela onships describe the type of con-versa ons being undertaken by key stakehold-ers, strategic, opera onal and/or tac cal. The horizontal rela onships reflect the complexity of stakeholder engagement across a phase of the project lifecycle. These rela onships are
more pronounced on large infrastructure pro-jects due to the large numbers of stakeholders, the complexity of contractual arrangement and the size of the project.
Early in a project lifecycle, strategic conversa-ons between agencies and industry can take
many years to develop innova ve concepts. These strategic conversa ons should not be rushed, it takes me for agencies, industry and the community to develop concepts and build genuine project momentum. Agencies and in-dustry then con nue to work together to de-velop the project and possible delivery strate-gies and procurement models. Having effec ve stakeholder engagement is cri cal between agencies and industry, for a viable delivery strategy to be iden fied.
At this point, consor um partners and subcon-tractors become involved in the project to bid for and finally execute the work. Stakeholder engagement becomes very complex and cri cal as the consor um partners have to establish clear goals and agree how to work with each other, in spite of having different cultures, driv-ers and priori es.
With the project complete, stakeholder en-gagement rela onships change from project centric to opera ons centric. Conversa ons change from project delivery to ongoing en-gagement of stakeholders who are impacted by the day-to-day running of the business.
For large infrastructure projects to be success-ful, stakeholder engagement is a cri cal success factor and must not be underes mated.
