Project Delivery System Integrity Review Tool (PDSIRT)
A structured assessment tool that captures employee insights to evaluate the integrity, governance, and operational effectiveness of your organization’s project delivery system.
PDSIRT™ — Project Delivery System Integrity Review Tool
PDSIRT™ is a structured organizational assessment designed to evaluate the integrity, governance, and operational effectiveness of an organization’s project delivery system.
The tool captures qualitative input directly from personnel across functions and applies Concord®’s proprietary methodology to produce an evidence-based, system-level integrity review.
Purpose of the Tool
🟢 PDSIRT™ applies Concord’s proprietary methodology to evaluate the integrity, governance alignment, and operational effectiveness of an organization’s project delivery system, using structured input from personnel directly involved in planning, executing, or supporting capital projects.
PDSIRT™ provides organizations with an independent and structured integrity review of how their project delivery system operates in practice—not only how it is documented.
It supports executive leadership, PMOs, internal audit, and governance bodies in identifying:
Structural strengths
Systemic gaps
Misalignments between functions
Risks affecting project predictability and performance
The tool replaces interviews, workshops, and consulting engagements with a standardized and repeatable assessment process.

PDSIRT™ Frequently Asked Questions
-
1. Why is employee participation required for this assessment?
The Complete Certification Package Includes: 1. Workface Planning Certification Course Comprehensive AWP fundamentals and methodology Industry-recognized certification One year of community membership 2. Workface Planner Mastery: From CWPs to Field Execution Workshop Because the integrity of a project delivery system cannot be evaluated from documents alone. Your personnel reveal how the system functions in practice—its gaps, inconsistencies, misalignments, and cross-functional realities—which are often not visible through governance charts or procedures. Their input provides the operational truth needed for an evidence-based integrity review.
-
2. How many employees must participate for valid results?
A minimum of 20 employees is required to support a reliable system-level integrity review. We recommend selecting participants from multiple departments and functional groups to ensure broad representation across the project delivery system. Including employees with 3 to 20+ years of experience provides the range of operational insight needed to reveal cross-functional gaps, practical realities, and systemic strengths. Concord provides detailed guidance to assist organizations in identifying the appropriate employee mix for the assessment.
-
3. How long does it take to receive the Executive Report?
Once all employee responses are submitted, Concord conducts the analysis and issues the PDSIRT™ Executive Report within 72 hours.
-
4. How can organizations use the PDSIRT™ Executive Report?
The report provides a structured view of system integrity, governance alignment, and operational effectiveness. Organizations use it to inform PMO strategic planning, internal audit reviews, governance committee reporting, capability development decisions, and the prioritization of system-level improvements. Because the findings are based on workforce input across functions, the report offers a realistic foundation for executive decision-making and cross-department alignment.
-
5. Who typically uses this tool?
PDSIRT™ is used by organizations that operate project delivery functions—such as capital-project owners, industrial operators, engineering groups, or firms overseeing complex project portfolios. While Concord does not publish client names, the tool’s methodology has been applied in large industrial environments and multi-functional organizations requiring a structured, evidence-based integrity review of their project delivery system.
-
6. Are individual survey responses anonymous?
Yes. While Concord receives individual response data for the purpose of completing the integrity analysis, no individual responses are attributed to specific employees in any report or output shared with the purchasing organization. Only aggregated findings are provided to the client. Individual identities, response patterns, and participant-level data are not disclosed.
-
7. How is participant data handled and protected?
Participant responses are collected for the sole purpose of conducting the PDSIRT™ integrity review. Concord processes the data internally, prepares the aggregated analysis, and provides the client only with system-level findings. Concord does not disclose individual responses, does not attribute feedback to named personnel.
-
8. How long is the assessment and how many questions are included?
The assessment includes a comprehensive set of structured questions across the integrity domains. Most participants complete it in 15–20 minutes. The number of questions varies by domain but remains consistent across assessments to ensure methodological reliability.
