A strong owner’s team is imperative for successful delivery of a large capital project
One of the core elements of a capital project’s success is timely mobilization of the right set of talent during each project stage. Yet, very often the definitions of “timely” and “right set” are biased by the past experience of the individual managers, company or business unit productivity targets, hiring freezes, and agency conflicts. It does not have to be that way--the starting point for every project organization design must be bias-free, project data-driven, and rooted in best industrial practices.

Capital Analytics Team Planner enables data-driven project owner team organization design
McKinsey Team Planner was developed based on our decades-long global experience of working on capital projects and organizational topics. The tool incorporates detailed inputs from over 50 top industry experts, representing some of the biggest capital investments. The solution uses a sophisticated, bottom-up engine built around 100+ owner team activities throughout the project lifecycle, volume drivers, and productivity factors. This allows us to accurately model the size and structure of capital project owner teams at each stage of the project.
