Approaches to forming AI-EI Models of mental space for managing project portfolios in construction

In this article analyzes standards, methodologies and scientific works in the field of project management, which can serve as a scientific basis for developing an approach to creating, implementing and maintaining the mental space of a construction project portfolio. The existing definitions of mental space are analyzed. Based on the analysis, taking into account the specifics of the construction industry, our own definitions are proposed (mental space of a construction project portfolio, mental stability of participants and stakeholders of a construction project portfolio, processes for ensuring the effective functioning of the mental space of a construction project portfolio). The specified definitions can form the basis of the thesaurus of the researched direction. A set of principles for creating, implementing and supporting the mental space of a portfolio of construction projects is proposed. The features of creating, implementing and supporting the mental space in the field of implementing the portfolio of construction projects are identified. The “conflict-efficiency” model is proposed for the development of mental space models. Based on the results of the research, the conceptual model of the mental space of EI-AI portfolio management are proposed, the specified model in particular is presented in a plural form. One of the important processes of implementing and supporting the mental space of a portfolio of construction projects is described – the tailoring process. A SWOT analysis of the proposed approach in the first and second forms was conducted. According to the results of such analysis, the proposed approach can be considered viable. Conclusions were drawn regarding the conducted research. Vectors of further research in the chosen direction were formulate
