Abstract
Value management is a multidisciplinary team approach with a structured and analytical
process for obtaining the best value. Studies carried out on Value management (VM) shows
that the success of a VM study largely depends on the effectiveness of the VM team. The
importance of team work can’t be underestimated as VM has been identified as a team based
process. Amongst the impediments to the success of a VM study is lack of multidisciplinary
team with appropriate skill mix. Member personality and member ability were found to be
attribute of construction professionals. Quantitative research was used and also a questionnaire
survey was carried out. The data received was analysed using IBM SPSS 21.0., descriptive and
inferential analysis were undertaken. The Pearson correlation and regression analysis was used
to test for relationship amongst variables. Construction professionals’ personalities and
abilities were found to be mostly good with an exception to the listening and conflict resolution
skills which they were found wanting which are also important for VM to be successful. The
relationship between team composition factors; personality and ability and the skills required
for the job plan stages of functional analysis and creativity were found to be positive and
statistically significant enabling the researcher to draft a model which can be used during
selection of VM team members in order to promote/increase the success of the VM studies.
Good listening and conflict resolution skills should be developed to aid success of a value
management study.
