About ipi
The International Partnering Institute (IPI) is a member-focused 501(c)(3) nonprofit. Our mission is to spread the value of Collaborative Partnering to the construction industry by helping owners, and other construction leaders, understand how to Deliver Partnering that Works™.
Comprised of more than 150 member organizations, we serve Owners, CM Firms, Designers, Suppliers, Contractors, and Facilitators.
IPI PROVIDES: Education We bring the Construction Partnering model to new agencies, organizations, and academic institutions to broaden their understanding of Construction Partnering as a means to improve construction project outcomes. Our regular virtual forums engage members with innovative topics on Construction Partnering. Research and Development We conduct research to increase the body of knowledge on Construction Partnering and develop tools that the industry can use to improve project delivery. Recognition We recognize teams who achieve exceptional outcomes through Construction Partnering by highlighting their success stories in our newsletter and by honoring them at our Annual IPI Partnering Awards Ceremony. Guidance We guide our members by connecting them with a network of mentors, and by providing them access to research and other resources. Facilitator Certification and Professional Development We certify the experience of facilitators who demonstrate their qualifications and knowledge of Construction Partnering. We also provide a forum for professional development to improve standards of practice in Construction Partnering. | FUTURE FOCUSED: To be impactful and member-focused, we approach the development of Partnering resources collaboratively. Our committee members play a large part in crafting, editing and sharing our tools, ensuring that we always incorporate the perspectives of the industry leaders that will use these resources to take Partnering to the next level. Through our outreach initiatives, we share these tools with the industry to further our mission: to transform the construction industry to achieve exceptional results through a culture of collaboration. Our annual awards ceremony celebrates those in the industry that use structured Construction Partnering to meet or exceed goals and achieve innovations. As we head into the future, our focus is to strengthen the networks of partnering nation-wide and internationally. Many of our members are true Partnering champions, introducing our model to new agencies so that, each year, more and more of the industry is adopting Partnering.
