Abstract:

Integrated Project Delivery (IPD) consists of  3-components:  (1) Organization / Teaming, (2) Lean Operating System, (3)  Commercial / Contractual.   It is estimated that about 25 projects have or are presently being delivered using IPD with Sutter Health being the  most well recognized.  So, it is not often that all 3 components come  together to form a complete integrated project delivery system. Nonetheless, more and  more owners are becoming aware of IPD and the benefits that it promises.  This development makes it necessary for professionals in the Design, Construction Management, and Specialty Contracting communities to be  knowledgeable of  all three of the  IPD components.

This presentation will focus on one of the IPD components:  Organization / Teaming. Our speakers will explore the foundations that create high performance teams inside an IPD environment (as identified by LCI) that increase RELIABILITY and in turn increase TRUST.
