Organizations re-engineer, and new systems and processes must rise to support these changes. CH2M HILL underwent rigorous re-engineering in the early 1990s to enhance our client focus and improve performance on a global basis.

We underwent this challenging and sometimes painful process, because our clients demanded change. Our clients business environments have become increasingly competitive and therefore our business environment has too.

In response to this competitive market, we have set a new direction for the firm that emphasizes client-focused project delivery. The firm s mission statement reinforces this emphasis: CH2M HILL is a global project delivery company making technology work to help our clients build a better world.

CH2M HILL s project delivery system has been developed to lead to the fulfillment of this mission. The project delivery system consists of five components: training, tools, core skills, company support, and a project delivery process. The process is the means by which projects are consistently and efficiently planned, executed, and completed to the satisfaction of our clients. The process is the core of the project delivery system and is the focus of this book.

The project delivery system not only leads to the fulfillment of CH2M HILL s mission, but it also aligns with the principles of Total Quality Management, the ISO Global Standards for project management, and the Project Management Institute Book of Knowledge (PMBOK).
