Martin Barnes (engineer)
Nicholas Martin Limer Barnes[1] (18 January 1939 – 5 February 2022) was a noted British civil engineer and project manager [2]
Life and career
[edit]From 2008 he chaired an independent dispute avoidance panel set up to avert contractual disputes on work to build facilities for the 2012 London Olympic Games.[3]
Barnes died on 5 February 2022, at the age of 83.[4]
Achievements
[edit]
However, the project management triangle is considered insufficient by some writers as a model of project success, because it omits crucial dimensions of success including impact on stakeholders, learning, and user satisfaction.[5] Subsequently, several enhancements of the basic triple constraints have been proposed such as the diamond framework,[6] the pyramid model, six or multiple constraints and the theory of constraints.[5]
Peter Higgins, Chair of the NEC Contract Board, recalls that he was "immediately struck by Martin’s depth of knowledge and commitment to developing a better way of contracting – through collaboration".[7]
The former "NEC awards", awarded in 7 categories which aim to "recognise excellence in project delivery and showcase examples of good practice through collaboration from across the world", were renamed as the "Martin Barnes Awards" in 2022.[8]
