Unlocking Project Success with PHI™’s evidence-based diagnostic framework

We all understand that project environments are complex. Success goes beyond just technical execution – it demands collaboration, effective leadership, and a thriving project culture. This is where PHI™ comes in.

We offer validated tools to assess how different organisations collaborate, guide project culture, and empower leaders with the right strategies to drive their teams forward.

At the heart of PHI™ is our evidence-based diagnostic framework, designed to measure the health of a project through key indicators:

1. Three Lead Indicator Indexes

PHI™ tracks project success through three lead indicator indexes:

● Project Collaboration Index (PCI): Measures collaboration effectiveness across organisations. Evaluates factors like working style, relationship focus, pace, system recognition, openness, and a one-team mindset.

● Project Culture Index (PCX): Captures project culture through key drivers: communication, trust, leadership role modelling, conflict tolerance, well-being, engagement, clarity, responsiveness, resourcing, and decision-making.

● Success Confidence Index (SCI): Assesses confidence in project success across cost, schedule, safety, culture, innovation, owner satisfaction, quality, retention, and development.

These indicators are benchmarked against our "Great Projects" and "Good Practice" benchmarks, providing valuable insight into your current project standing and projecting future outcomes.

2. Twelve Leadership Practices

Leadership drives results. Our 12 Leadership Practices provide clear, actionable steps for project success. Your results highlight areas for improvement and offer targeted strategies for change.

3. Six Collaboration Measures

Effective collaboration fuels success. PHI™’s six collaboration dimensions give a 360-degree view of interactions within and between project organisations, teams, and departments. These insights identify strengths and areas needing improvement to ensure alignment and cohesion.
