KEY NOTE SPEECH: “A WORKING MODEL FOR COLLABORATIVE PARTNERING”
Sue Dyer, MBA, MPF, MDR IPI, CEO Orgmetrics, President

At the 2009 IPI Forum, we had many requests to know “how” to implement partnering so that you get the kind of results that were shared. IPI has developed a “working model” for a comprehensive, integrated partnering program that results in a highly collaborative project environment. Sue Dyer walked the audience through an overview of the IPI Collaborative Partnership "Working Model" that facility owners can follow to setup and implement a proven partnering process for their design and construction program.

THINK TANKS: TAPPING THE COLLECTIVE WISDOM ON THE INDUSTRY

IPI operates as a THINK TANK doing qualitative research based on the collective wisdom of the industry. We use this wisdom to develop “best practices” for partnering. We broke into three distinct “think tanks” one for Owners, one for the Design phase and one for the Construction phase. In our “think tanks” this year we explored Models for Collaborative Partnerships.
