Sue was the first woman in the United States to head up a major collective bargaining unit for the construction industry. Ms. Dyer is known internationally as an accomplished facilitator and mediator, as well as an entertaining and dynamic speaker. She facilitates partnering workshops for up to 100 construction projects each year, in addition to mediating disputes and finding new applications for the partnering process.
With her background in construction, collective bargaining, conflict resolution, negotiation, training design, professional speaking, and mediation, Sue offers an interdisciplinary approach to partnering and mediation which has proven time and again to be highly effective.
As one of her clients recently said when he introduced her, Sue Dyer wrote the book on partnering. Her book, Partner Your Project, was the first book to clearly outline the process for partnering. When she wrote the Field Guide to Partnering on Caltrans Projects, she refined the principles found in Partner Your Project to meet the specific needs of Caltrans and its contractors. In addition to these two publications, she has developed a line of partnering reinforcement tools, including audio programs and tips booklets.
Ms. Dyer has been creating partnering processes since 1985, before it was even called partnering. In 1982 she participated in the President’s Council for Productivity Improvement for the construction industry. The Council was charged with finding ways to improve the delivery of construction projects. Her group developed a process called tripartite, named for its bringing together of the three main parties to a construction contract (the owner, designer, and contractor) to coordinate their efforts. Eventually, this process became known as partnering.
