This Is Also Backed By Primary Statistics From Government Documents. Having

This is also backed by primary statistics from government documents.
Having outlined the various sources above, the researcher also realizes that it may prove difficult to gather enough case studies to show how without well articulated briefing projects can fail as most companies are hesitant to admit failure. Consequently the majority of the focus would be on the literature review and the researcher's own evaluation of the available cases and theoretical frameworks.
Timetable for Research
For the completion of the study, the researcher has set the following action plan:
May - Start looking at the broad issues surrounding the topic to generate information on sources.
June - Searching and schedule contacts for interviews
July - Collating information on the subject
August - Researching primary sources
September- Researching secondary sources
October - Assess initial work
November- Reassess work
December - Submission of first draft
Conclusion
In the course of initial work conducted above, the researcher concludes that communication is critical in client - task force relationship building. This link between the client and the management is required throughout the project lifecycle. To articulate, a briefing process is established with the view to improve communication gaps but more importantly to ensure clients and professional alike remain focused on the objectives of their projects. In the course of the researcher's initial research however it has come to light that value management application can greatly enhance this process by contributing to value deliverables. Given the efforts by the government through the Egan and Latham reports, the researcher is of the opinion there is a great need for in-depth research on the application of value management in briefing process.
