Mapping the Value Thread in Local Government Service Delivery in South Africa
A framework for understanding public sector decision-making in relation to projects, programmes and policy is presented. The framework builds on Value Management (VM) theory by adding a component to the classical VM model. The framework demonstrates that, apart from the functional value of alternative materials and their costs, a choice of one particular technical solution also requires consideration of moral issues. The model is illustrated within the context of housing policy in South Africa. The paper concludes by examining some published measures of project success and indicates that more work is needed to establish what constitutes real value add in project delivery in this sector.
