According to participants in our Principals’ Bootcamps and Project Management Bootcamps PSMJ Resources Inc., is finding more clients than ever are migrating to the use of alternative project delivery. They are using these methods to better manage risk, achieve earlier cost commitments, accelerate schedules, provide more appropriate levels of quality, and encourage more extensive and successful team collaboration earlier and throughout the A/E/C process.

Particularly in today’s world of economic challenges with more competition and fewer projects and more demanding goals in the A/E/C industry – but clients more receptive to new ways of achieving success – there has never been a better time to be involved in alternative project methods leading to Integrated Project Delivery.   However, despite all the talk about the need to explore other ways to structure teams and connect to client goals and be more successful, we still hear frequently from many firm leaders struggling with how they can do it.

We do see and work with some of the most successful firms, who are already using these strategies extensively. But even firms that are using alternative methods are continually challenged with issues including extensive unanticipated rework, difficulty in matching billings with the accelerated pace of work, handling Building Information Modeling software liability/ownership issues, and taking on inappropriate levels of risk relative to the rewards – which can be sizable.

This energizing one-hour webinar will focus on strategies and tactics for Making sense out of the alphabet soup of different project delivery methods – and how you and your firm can benefit.. We’ll cover the key points below and provide additional tips for developing a process-driven approach to create success for you and your team partners. Specific points that we’ll cover include: 

• Which project delivery method is best for the owner? For the designer? For the contractor?  
• Who should take what risks? Who should reap the potential rewards? 
• How to assemble the best project delivery team 
• What’s the best form of contract and compensation? 
• How to lead a collaborative project delivery team 
• How to be a successful member of a collaborative project delivery team 
• How to avoid pitfalls that have tripped up even experienced professionals 
• How do I implement what I’ve learned in my organization?

Whether you are contemplating your firm’s first engagement using alternative forms of project delivery or you’re an experienced team member looking for ways to improve IPD results, this webinar is designed for you!
