Introduction
Paul M. (Mickey) Collins Senior Executive Associate with Pathfinder, LLC. Has more than 30 years of management, project
management, planning, project controls, procurement and contracting experience in the manufacturing, fabrication, engineering and construction industries.
Has held progressively responsible supervisory and managerial positions in the Process and Manufacturing Industry in both domestic and international project environments.

Background
Background The North American process industry has evolved
over the last 2 – 3 years Larger projects are more prevalent now than in the
past 15 to 20 years. Petrochemical companies are taking advantage of
the abundant supply of less expensive natural gas; pipeline companies are having to move more product; receiving terminals are being converted to export terminals; etc.
This is putting a strain on the already stretched owner capital project development and execution organizations.
Background Owners today are re-evaluating their
existing organizational structures based on this influx in capital project activity.
Should owners staff up, outsource more, rely on pieced-together project teams or hire Project Management Contractors?
Organizational Alternatives
Organizational Alternatives Design Options
Build Your Own (Direct Hire) Outsource Pieced-Together Project Teams Project Management Contractors (PMC)
Challenges
Organizational Alternatives Build Your Own
Directly hire full team Owner’s Team provides all Owner functions Trained, and function as directed Takes time Must have sustained capital program
Organizational Alternatives Outsource
Let your execution contractors manage themselves
Many Owners believe this should be the case
No Owner oversight Less than desirable results
Organizational Alternatives Pieced-Together Project Teams
Pick the ‘Best of the Best’ Can work well Must have defined Work Practices Can developed relatively quickly Costly
Organizational Alternatives Project Management Contractor
(PMC) Acts on Owner behalf Mobilizes quickly Slightly more costly than direct hire Comes with own processes and tools Owner provides oversight and assurance Potential conflict with other contractors
Organizational Alternatives Challenges
Owner must recognize their roll in Project Planning and Execution and be willing to fulfill this roll
This comes at a cost Hiring someone else to fulfill this roll cannot
be successful without Owner direction Be cautious of PMC but should be
considered
Looking Forward
Looking Forward Projects will remain active for next 5+
years Future Owner portfolio needs must be
considered Consider fiduciary responsibility Marketplace has a huge impact on this
evaluation Consider all business drivers Build your selected approach into your
Project Execution Plan
