A Working Model for Collaborative Partnering

The 2009 International Partnering Institute’s Think Tanks recommended that IPI adopt a working model for partnering, one that is designed and proven to produce culture change. Rather than reinvent the wheel, IPI has adopted the California Department of Transportation’s (Caltrans) Partnering Program Model as our IPI working model. This model has proven to provide outstanding results within a large and complex organization that delivers ~$10 billion of construction every year through twelve different districts around the State of California, in a low bid environment. This white paper outlines the working model and walks facility owners and industry through the key steps to ensuring you have a successful partnering program.
