The purpose of this paper is to present and compare experiences with new implementation strategies in infrastructure projects, and to identify how the different strategies contribute to innovation and efficiency. As the complexity of infrastructure projects are increasing along with their magnitude, there is a need to gather international and national experiences with untraditional implementation strategies. This will result in a recommendation to which strategies that best fit a complex, large-scale project. The results are based on a literature review and case studies, hereunder document studies and interviews with key personnel from the cases. Investigated implementation strategies and types of contract involve use of competitive dialogue, public private partnership-arrangements, design and build with maintenance responsibility and partnering. Strengths and weaknesses of the investigated implementation strategies have been charted based on experiences from large-scale projects. The paper concludes that the investigated strategies fall short of providing the desired focus on innovation. }, author_keywords={Implementation strategies, complexity, waste, infrastructure, value }, address={Perth, Australia }, issn={2309-0979 }, publisher={ }, language={English}, document_type={Conference Paper}, source={IGLC}, }
