ABSTRACT
Rapid developments in hard system collaboration tools have overtaken current capacities of most construction organisations and personnel to effectively mobilise, let alone rapidly optimise, such multi-dimensional management systems. The usage and value of multi-criteria decision aids, rapid visualisation and prototyping tools and multi-agent operational systems, for example, are dependent on identifying and generating the required cultures, social dynamics and cooperative relationships amongst diverse and scattered project participants, often with divergent basic objectives.
