Description

The AEC industry is rapidly changing and utilizing more collaborative project delivery methods such as IPD, ILPD, Design-Build, and Design Assist. This calls for a different set of skills. Technical ability is now the price of entry. Companies and their employees must also have great communication skills-including the ability to listen well, motivate others, and resolve conflicts. Teams can be a tricky thing, especially for large projects.

Learning Objectives and Outcomes:

  • Explore the current state of teams and how teams are created for projects and the flaws of this model.
  • Explore strategies on how to create high-performing individuals on every project.
  • Explore and implement strategies to create high-performing teams on every project.
  • Explore and implement how to maintain a high level of performance throughout the project.
