Tunnelling design management – Particularities in design processes and setup of teams

This paper elaborates on the elements that differentiate tunnelling design from other disciplines. Provides ways to distinguish judgement-based design processes to mass production. Give a thorough view to managers regarding the elements that affect significantly the performance of a team by analysing the social processes that affect cohesion and decision making quality. Explain the difficulties that managers face growing teams at specific magnitude and how this is substantiated by social science. Finally, an analysis is provided for the organisational and leadership model of a team required to perform under fast-track and unconventional design conditions with relevant example from similar practices.
