Productivity growth is essential to the effective planning and execution of projects in the construction sector. At the level of an activity, trade, or project, several productivity methods have shown benefits; but, at the corporate and industry level, outcomes have been uneven and productivity increases have not been appreciable. The productivity improvement problem, which affects the whole project portfolio, is examined in this study by CII Research Team 340, Corporate Practices for Successful Productivity Improvement Programs (RT-340). The goal is to describe and evaluate corporate productivity programs, which are made up of the personnel, operational procedures, and technological infrastructure that aid in productivity enhancement initiatives inside a business. In order to achieve this, the Construction Industry Institute created the central research question addressed by this study, which was "What are the enterprise-level best practices for implementing productivity improvement programs; and what are the most significant barriers to their implementation?" The research team made use of already-existing safety programs and lessons learned to comprehend roles, responsibilities, practices, barriers, and interfaces common to these well-established corporate programs in order to develop efficient corporate-level programs that will have an impact across the entire portfolio. A well-known program framework, such as the quantifiable actions and success principles, was supported by this foundation.
