As we close out 2025, we at IPI want to pause and celebrate you, our members. We know how hard you work, how much you give, and how often the daily challenges of projects can make it feel like the wins slip by unnoticed. But this year, you accomplished more than you realize. You led, you learned, you collaborated, and you built lasting impact for your teams and communities. This short reflection is our gift to you: a chance to look back with pride, gather the moments that mattered, and see just how much you truly achieved in 2025. 

10-Minute New Year’s Eve Reflection 

Set the Scene (1 minute) 
Take a breath. Find a quiet moment. Remember: this isn’t about perfection, it’s about recognizing all the growth you might have overlooked. 

Step 1: The Big Picture (2 minutes) 

• What’s one project, achievement, or personal milestone from 2025 that you’re most proud of? 

• If you had to give 2025 a “title” or theme, what would it be? 

Step 2: Hidden Wins (3 minutes) 

Often our biggest accomplishments are disguised as everyday persistence. Ask yourself: 

• What challenge did you overcome that seemed impossible at first? 

• What new skill, habit, or mindset did you build this year? 

• When did you show up for someone else in a meaningful way? 

• What’s something you learned about yourself as a leader, teammate, or person? 

(Tip: even small things, like a hard conversation, showing kindness on a tough day, or staying consistent, count as wins.) 

Step 3: The Gratitude Lens (2 minutes) 

• Who supported or inspired you in 2025? 

• What unexpected good thing happened that you didn’t plan for? 

• What brought you joy this year, big or small? 

Step 4: The Wins List (2 minutes) 

Now, make a quick list of 10 wins from 2025. 
These can be big (a completed project, certification, award) or small (a lesson learned, a new friendship, a personal breakthrough). By the time you hit #10, you’ll see how much you’ve accomplished, grown, and loved this year. 

Step 5: Close with Celebration (30 seconds) 

Read your Wins List back to yourself. Smile. You did all of that in just one year. 
Write one sentence starting with: “Because of 2025, I am stepping into 2026 with…” (confidence, wisdom, courage, hope, joy, whatever fits for you). 

From all of us at IPI, thank you for the dedication, effort, and heart you bring to your work every day. Your commitment to building stronger teams and better projects makes a difference not only in your organizations, but across our entire industry. As you step into 2026, carry forward the pride of all you accomplished this past year. We are honored to have you as part of our community, and we look forward to celebrating even more successes with you in the year ahead.

‘Twas the night before Christmas, out on the site, 
Not a hard hat was stirring, the welds all were tight. 
The plans were all stacked in the trailer with care, 
In hopes that no RFIs soon would be there. 

The partners were nestled all snug in their vests, 
Dreaming of projects that pass every test. 
The owner with the builder, the designer with cheer, 
Had just settled in for a bright new year. 

When out by the crane there arose such a sight, 
The crew dropped their cocoa to gaze in delight. 
Away to the scaffolds they ran with a dash, 
Climbed up the ladders in one joyful flash. 

The moon on the steel gave a magical glow, 
And what to their wondering eyes did it show? 
A Christmas tree shining from high overhead, 
With bright lights and garlands and hard hats in red. 

The crew cheered together, their voices rang clear
“Happy Partnering to all, and a brilliant New Year!”

Construction projects are, at their core, a series of problems and challenges that teams rise to meet day after day. A new issue arises, the team rallies, they find a solution, and then they press forward to climb the next mountain. While this relentless drive is what gets projects built, it also creates a hidden risk: if teams never stop to celebrate their milestones, projects can become a long, demanding series of frustrations. Over time, that wears people down. Morale slips, relationships fray, and burnout takes hold. 

That’s why great project leaders know that success isn’t just about solving problems, it’s about celebrating the solutions. Pausing to recognize what’s going right keeps people motivated, strengthens relationships, and recharges the team for the road ahead. 

Why Celebration Matters 

When we stop to celebrate, we do more than acknowledge an achievement. We: 

• Build motivation. Recognizing progress reminds the team why their effort matters and inspires them to keep pushing. 

• Strengthen collaboration. Celebrations bring people together in ways that meetings and reports never can, creating trust and camaraderie. 

• Reduce burnout. A pause to celebrate offers perspective, showing that the work is adding up to real success. 

Think of it this way: just as regular safety talks keep workers focused on what matters most, regular celebrations keep your project team focused on the bigger picture of progress and success. 

Practical Ways to Celebrate 

Celebration doesn’t need to be big or expensive. The key is sincerity. I have worked with several teams whose first purchase was a grill so they could celebrate. Here are some other practical ways leaders can recognize milestones: 

• Games & Activities. Organize a basketball game, golf outing, or even a group hike. Shared fun builds bonds that carry over to the jobsite. 

• Brown Bag Lunches. Once a month, gather for an informal lunch to reflect on what went right and call out those who made it possible. 

• Press Releases or Newsletter Articles. Public recognition in the company newsletter or local paper lifts spirits and creates positive PR. 

• Tokens of Appreciation. Simple, sincere rewards, a project-branded hat, mug, or jacket, go a long way in reinforcing positive effort. 

• Family Events. A picnic or day at the ballpark not only honors the team but also shows families that their support matters. 

• Creative Gestures. A thank-you card, a special cake, or even a playful “scorekeeping” contest around project milestones can make celebration memorable. 

The most effective leaders make these moments a regular rhythm of the project, not just a one-time gesture at the ribbon cutting, or the annual safety lunch.  

Partnering and the Power of Celebration 

At IPI, we know that projects succeed when teams are aligned and collaborative. Structured Collaborative Partnering provides the framework for teams to problem-solve together, but it also reminds us that relationships need reinforcement. Celebration is one of the most powerful reinforcements you can offer. 

The IPI Project Leader Certification Training equips leaders with the mindset and tools to foster collaboration, maintain momentum, and, importantly, celebrate the wins that sustain teams through tough challenges. 

A Call to Action 

As you move forward on your project, stop for a moment. Look back at what your team has accomplished. Then choose a way to celebrate, large or small, that fits your people and your project. You’ll find that recognition not only lifts spirits but also builds resilience for the next mountain ahead. 

Because projects aren’t just built with steel and concrete, they’re built by people. And people thrive when their efforts are seen, appreciated, and celebrated.

Anger is part of being human. On every construction project, tensions can run high, deadlines shift, plans change, weather interferes, and sometimes people just plain disagree. The challenge isn’t that anger shows up. The real issue is how we deal with it when it does. 

Left unchecked, anger can derail teamwork, damage relationships, and even put people at risk. According to the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health, in 2023 46 construction workers lost their lives to workplace violence, largely from co-worker disputes. In 2025, construction still holds one of the highest rates of on-the-job violence, and it is also the industry with the highest rate of suicide. Clearly, learning how to deal with anger constructively is not optional. It’s essential for safety, productivity, and the health of our people. 

Where Do You Fall on the “Anger Thermometer”? 

Think about how you usually respond when anger rises. Do you quickly escalate to being furious, fuming, or even “ballistic”? Or do you tend to simmer with frustration, wanting to get even? Maybe you just get bothered or annoyed but keep it bottled up. 

Wherever you find yourself on the anger scale, the important thing is to recognize the signs early and bring your temperature down before it boils over. 

Seven Habits of People Who Handle Anger Well 

People who manage anger effectively do seven key things: 

1. Treat anger as normal. They know it’s not a flaw to feel anger, it’s just part of life. 
2. See anger as a signal. Anger is information that something needs attention. 
3. Pause before acting. They take time to think before responding. 
4. Express anger in moderation. They stay in control instead of lashing out. 
5. Aim to solve problems. Their goal is resolution, not just venting. 
6. Communicate clearly. They state their concerns in ways others can understand and respond to. 
7. Let it go. Once the issue is resolved, they don’t carry it forward. 

It takes practice!! By adopting these approaches, you not only keep yourself steady, but you also set the tone for others on your team. 

Practical Tips for Cooling Down 

When you feel anger growing, try these strategies: 

• Stay calm. Soften your face, breathe deeply, and talk quietly. 

• Use moderation. Keep your anger at a mild or medium level; don’t let it spike. 

• Remember you have a choice. You can say no to being pulled into someone else’s anger. 

Make It a Team Conversation 

Anger is contagious, but so is calm. This month, try using this as a toolbox talk with your project team. Ask: 

• What tends to set us off? 

• What strategies can we commit to for keeping anger under control?  

• How can we support each other if someone loses their cool? 

By having this conversation up front, you create a culture where people feel safe addressing problems before they escalate. 

Collaborative Partnering is about building strong, resilient teams. Keeping anger in check is a key part of that. Use this article as a toolbox talk on your project, and if you want to take it further, consider the IPI Project Leader Certification training. It equips teams with the collaborative tools they need to handle conflict, build trust, and keep projects moving forward, even when the pressure is on.

In construction, one constant remains: change is inevitable. Whether it’s a scope adjustment, an unforeseen condition, or a decision made later than planned, change has the power to either derail a project or, if managed proactively, be absorbed with minimal disruption. For owners and contractors, learning how to anticipate and respond to change is one of the most important skills for keeping projects on track. 

This is where the Delta Factor comes into play. Research from the Construction Industry Institute (CII) shows that when a change occurs has as much impact on cost and schedule as the change itself. For example, if a significant change hits at 25% completion, recovery is still possible. But if that same change arrives at 75% completion, the odds of getting back on schedule drop dramatically. 

The Hidden Cost of Change 

CII also found that the amount of change matters. Projects with less than 5% total change usually finish ahead of plan, while those with more than 10% change often suffer from steep productivity declines. Even more striking: design-phase changes almost always carry into construction. If your design has 20% change, expect about 20% change in the field. That means poor design management can all but guarantee costly construction problems later. 

This gives project leaders an early warning system: if the design phase feels chaotic, take action before shovels hit the ground. 

Building Resilience to Change 

Since change is inevitable, the real question is: how well does your team adapt? The most successful teams aren’t those who avoid change, but those who are resilient in the face of it. Resilient people and teams tend to share five key traits 

• Positive – They see challenges as opportunities rather than threats. 

• Focused – They know what success looks like and keep their eyes on the goal. 

• Flexible – They adapt quickly when things shift. 

• Organized – They manage uncertainty with structured approaches. 

• Proactive – They lean into change instead of resisting it. 

Here’s a quick self-check exercise: 
Rate your team from 1 (low) to 5 (high) on each of these five traits. Where do you score strongest? Where do you need to grow? Use this as a starting point for discussion in your next project meeting. 

Partnering Makes the Difference 

The truth is, no single leader can manage the Delta Factor alone. Successful navigation requires a collaborative environment where owners, contractors, and all stakeholders share information openly, act early, and support one another in building resilience. This is exactly what Structured Collaborative Partnering is designed to create. 

At IPI, we’ve seen time and again that teams who practice collaborative partnering are far more effective at managing change and protecting project outcomes. 

If you want to take your skills, and your team’s skills, to the next level, explore the IPI Project Leader Certification Training. This program equips project leaders with the tools, strategies, and mindset needed to guide their teams through uncertainty with confidence. 

Bottom line: Change is inevitable. But with the right mindset, proactive partnering, and the skills taught through IPI’s Project Leader Certification, owners and contractors can turn the Delta Factor into a powerful advantage, keeping projects on track, teams resilient, and outcomes successful.

Every construction project team is unique. That’s why no two partnering sessions should look the same. The right agenda depends on where the team sits within the Four Stages of Partnering, a practical framework that helps leaders diagnose current dynamics and choose interventions that move the team forward 

Stage I: Reduce Conflict by Creating Control 

Stage I is the “controlled” stage, but only after leaders confront conflict head on. The immediate objective is to reduce conflict by restoring a sense of control for all parties. Practically, this means translating hot button issues into very detailed, specific agreements, who will do what, by when, and how progress will be verified. As people follow through on these commitments, reliability becomes visible and the first shoots of trust begin to grow 

Real world example: On a contentious bypass project mired in disputes, the team started in Stage I. Through partnering, they surfaced core issues, then cowrote highly detailed steps everyone could accept. As stakeholders consistently executed those steps, hostility cooled. The visible follow through seeded trust, opening the door to Stage II and, later, Stage III. The team never reached Stage IV, but the project still succeeded because leaders matched the partnering approach to the stage. 

Stage II: Build Trust to Enable Cooperation 

With conflict and early reliability established, the work of Stage II is to develop deeper trust, so cooperation becomes possible. Leaders should set measurable goals in the partnering session and then make progress highly transparent, regular check-ins, shared scorecard, and clear recognition when commitments are met. Trust at this stage is earned by consistency, not charisma. 

Stage III: Build an Effective One Team Culture 

By Stage III, “us vs. them” thinking gives way to one team, one table. Stakeholders focus on the project, not on each other, because trust, shared experience, and mutual understanding are now strong enough to sustain a highly effective team. Communication flows, problems surface earlier, and solutions are shaped collaboratively. This is where productivity and quality gains accelerate as coordination friction drops 

Stage IV: Maximize Opportunities Through Collective Creativity 

At the highest stage, the team operates so seamlessly that roles blur, you can’t tell who works for whom. The shared identity is “the project team.” With psychological safety and systemic trust in place, the group can maximize opportunities: reframing constraints, piloting better methods, and pushing performance toward what once seemed impossible 

Why Every Session Must Be Different 

Stages I–II are driven by dispute prevention and resolution; Stages III–IV are driven by creativity and innovation. That difference demands stage specific partnering: 

• Stage I: Priority on conflict resolution, detailed agreements, and verification rituals. 

• Stage II: Priority on measurable goals, transparent progress reviews, and reliability signals. 

• Stage III: Priority on alignment to project outcomes, integrated planning, and joint problem solving. 

• Stage IV: Priority on opportunity hunting, innovative ideas, rapid experimentation and implementation. 

Teams can also move backward under pressure. That’s normal, leaders should recalibrate the next session to the stage the team is in, not the one it used to occupy, or you want to be in. 

The Leader’s Edge: IPI Project Leader Certification 

Skilled leadership is what converts stages into results. The IPI Project Leader Certification equips leaders to (1) diagnose stage accurately, (2) select the right interventions, and (3) sustain momentum as conditions change. Certified leaders learn how to craft Stage I agreements that deescalate conflict, Stage II routines that compound trust, Stage III practices that fuse stakeholders into one team, and Stage IV habits that turn challenges into advantages. If your goal is to move more projects into Stages III and IV, where quality and value compound, this is the most direct path. 

Quick self-check: What stage is your project in today? What is the single most appropriate stage move you could make this week to nudge it one level higher?

Construction leaders today face a paradox: we’re expected to make confident decisions about a future that feels less predictable than ever. Technology is racing ahead, workforce expectations are shifting, and public projects must meet ever-higher standards for sustainability and community value. Forecasting exact outcomes isn’t realistic—but that doesn’t mean we’re powerless.

What sets great leaders apart is not their ability to predict the future, but their ability to adopt the right attitudes toward it. Nick Foster, Futurist and Designer offers four simple but powerful lenses—Could, Should, Might, and Don’t—offer a way for project teams to explore possibilities, set priorities, and avoid pitfalls together.

Four Attitudes for Future-Ready Leaders

• Could – the realm of possibilities. What innovations, approaches, or opportunities could benefit this project?
• Should – the values filter. Among all the options, which ones align with the team’s shared commitments to safety, sustainability, and community benefit?
• Might – the pragmatic lens. What might realistically work under schedule, budget, and resource constraints?
• Don’t – the discipline of restraint. What should we avoid so we don’t waste energy or create harm?

Used together, these attitudes help leaders move beyond guesswork and instead guide their teams toward decisions that are bold, grounded, and collaborative.

A Project Example

On a recent public works project, the team debated whether to implement a new BIM-enabled collaboration platform.

• From a Could perspective, it promised better clash detection and cost certainty.
• Through a Should lens, the team weighed whether the platform would serve the community’s priorities for transparency and carbon reduction.
• The Might conversation raised risks: training costs, software compatibility, and schedule impacts.
• Finally, Don’t reminded the team not to adopt technology for its own sake—or allow it to create new silos.

By working through all four attitudes, the team decided to pilot BIM on targeted design packages rather than force adoption across the board. The result: lower risk, higher alignment, and a solution that truly served the project.

Where Collaboration Comes In

These four attitudes don’t exist in isolation. They thrive in environments where teams can share ideas openly, debate constructively, and commit to decisions together. That’s exactly what Structured Collaborative Partnering (SCP) creates.

• In partnering workshops, Could ideas are welcomed without judgment.
• The Should questions are surfaced collectively, aligning values across owners, contractors, designers, and managers.
• Might discussions are tested through joint risk assessments and scenario discussions.
• And Don’t is built into partnering charters, where teams commit to avoiding adversarial behaviors like surprise claims or siloed decision-making.

Through partnering, these attitudes become a shared discipline rather than an individual burden.

Why This Matters Now

Construction is a collaborative sport. Adversarial approaches not only generate claims and delays but also burn out the very people we need most in the field. Future-ready leaders are the ones who:

• Encourage expansive thinking (Could) without letting it drift into wishful thinking.
• Anchor decisions in values (Should) rather than politics.
• Test scenarios with realism (Might) instead of blind optimism.
• And practice discipline (Don’t) by refusing to waste time on conflict or outdated practices.

A Call to Action

The future of public works and infrastructure will not be shaped by predictions—it will be shaped by leaders who know how to guide their teams through uncertainty together. The four attitudes—Could, Should, Might, and Don’t—offer a practical framework for doing just that.

At IPI, our mission is to equip those leaders through Structured Collaborative Partnering and the Project Leader Certification program. Both are designed to help project leaders turn these attitudes into action, ensuring not just successful projects but healthier, more resilient teams.

The future isn’t something we forecast. It’s something we build—together.

Written by Sue Dyer, Founder, IPI    

Construction projects succeed or fail not because of contracts, schedules, or even budgets, but because of people. And at the heart of every project team are values. You can’t see values directly, but you can see their results. Values create attitudes, and attitudes create behaviors. If a team is going to work collaboratively, it’s the values that matter most. 

From Conflict to Collaboration: Why Values Matter 

Consider a project I was called in to facilitate for, after it had spiraled into dysfunction. Two trailers sat side by side on the jobsite, one for the contractor and one for the owner. Yet the doors stayed locked, and the only communication between the two teams was through emails pointing fingers. The project was millions over budget and months behind schedule. 

When the teams finally came together in a partnering session, the root cause wasn’t technical. It wasn’t scheduling. It wasn’t even money. The breakdown stemmed from an early perceived slight between the leaders that snowballed into mistrust. What followed was defensive attitudes and adversarial behaviors that crippled the project. 

Once the leaders apologized to each other they stopped seeing the other as their “enemy”. They saw they needed the other person (and their team) to get the job done. Attitudes shifted almost immediately. Behaviors followed. The project got a fresh start, proof that values and attitudes are the foundation of performance 

The Adversarial vs. Partnering Mindset 

 

In low bid project delivery, the traditional mindset is “I’ll look out for me, and you look out for you.” I am not concerned about you. Some people think you need to Compromise to not have conflict. But when you compromise all the time you will find that people start to keep score on how many times they have compromised, hardly a recipe for creativity or trust. 

By contrast, partnering is rooted in shared values: I care about my success and yours. This mindset leads to curiosity, openness, and joint problem-solving. Instead of splitting the orange in half, as in the classic story of two sisters arguing over an orange. The sisters keep arguing until their mother comes in and tells them to stop. Then the sisters actually talked to each other and learned that one sister was baking a cake and only wanted the peel and the other sister only wanted to eat the fruit inside. Partnering works to uncover interests. By partnering, both got what they wanted.  

On projects, the same principle applies. When teams share partnering values of trust, respect, and accountability, they ask better questions: 

• What do you need to succeed? 

• What do I need? 

• How do we create a solution that strengthens the project for both of us? 

This is how partnering values transform into collaborative behaviors that “expand the pie” and create outcomes far greater than compromise ever could. 

Why Leaders Must Start with Partnering Values 

You can’t dictate behavior directly. You can only cultivate values that shape attitudes, and those attitudes show up in daily actions, whether in meetings, on jobsites, or in problem-solving sessions. Leaders who ignore values risk fueling adversarial cycles. Leaders who intentionally anchor their projects in partnering values create the fertile ground for collaboration, innovation, and success. 

That’s why the International Partnering Institute developed the IPI Project Leader Certification Training. It’s designed to help project leaders not only understand the technical aspects of partnering but also master the cultural and behavioral foundations that drive successful collaboration. 

If you want your projects to thrive, not just survive, start with partnering values. They may be invisible, but their impact is undeniable. Train your leaders, invest in the right culture, and you’ll see attitudes shift and behaviors align. 

The next generation of project success belongs to leaders who understand this simple truth: partnering values are the root, collaboration is the fruit.

The construction industry in 2025 is buzzing with innovation. Generative AI, robotics, 3D printing, drones, and digital twins are no longer fringe ideas, they’re active forces reshaping how projects are planned, executed, and delivered. Yet as these technologies promise greater speed, efficiency, and accuracy, there’s a paradox lurking beneath the surface: technology alone isn’t enough. Without collaboration, these tools can actually increase friction, confusion, and risk. 

That’s why Collaborative Partnering is more critical than ever. New tools require new norms, new workflows, and a culture of trust to unlock their full potential. 

Tech Acceleration in the Field 

Construction is experiencing a digital renaissance. Generative AI is helping design teams model complex structures faster and with greater accuracy. AI-driven tools now flag compliance issues automatically, optimize materials usage, and even predict when a project might go off track. 

Meanwhile, robotics like brick-laying bots and autonomous earthmovers are showing up on sites to handle repetitive or hazardous tasks. 3D printing of components, or even entire walls, is reducing labor needs and build time. And Building Information Modeling (BIM), once a cutting-edge niche, is now foundational to project planning. With the rise of digital twins and IoT sensors, real-time monitoring and predictive maintenance have become everyday capabilities. 

All of these innovations promise better outcomes. But they also introduce more data, more decisions, and more potential disconnects. 

The Collaboration Gap 

Technology doesn't operate in a vacuum. Even the best AI planning software is useless if the field crew can’t or won’t adapt. A digital twin is only as helpful as the coordination behind how it's maintained and used. And robotics, while powerful, require upfront alignment between design intent and on-site execution. 

The reality is that many project teams aren't aligned enough to integrate these tools seamlessly. Silos between designers, contractors, owners, and field teams persist. If trust is low or communication is weak, technology creates more points of failure, not fewer. 

Why Collaborative Partnering Makes Tech Work 

Collaborative Partnering (CP) is the process that closes the gap between potential and performance. By aligning all stakeholders early, CP creates the foundation for adopting and integrating technology successfully. 

Here’s how CP supports construction tech adoption: 

• Shared Vision: Partnering sessions help teams define shared goals, including how new tech will be used, evaluated, and supported. 

• Role Clarity: As roles shift due to automation and digital tools, SCP helps teams adjust responsibilities and expectations collaboratively. 

• Trust Building: Technology requires experimentation. High-trust teams are more willing to try, fail, learn, and adapt. 

• Continuous Learning: Partnering workshops create space for open dialogue, which is essential for working through implementation challenges. 

What You Can Do Now 

Whether you’re a project executive, construction manager, designer, or trade partner, here are five actions you can take this summer to embrace technology the right way: 

1. Conduct a Tech Alignment Session During Partnering 
   Use your CP kickoff to clarify how the team will use tools like BIM, AI software, or digital twins. Make it a standing agenda item. 
2. Invest in IPI Project Leader Certification 
   This training equips your leaders with the skills to foster trust, coordinate across roles, and lead through complexity, essential for tech adoption. 
3. Assign a Tech Integration Champion 
   Identify a person (or small team) to support the rollout of new tools. Give them the authority to connect dots across disciplines. 
4. Pilot, Then Scale 
   Start small with new tech. Use a collaborative approach to pilot a specific tool on a single scope or milestone before rolling it out. 
5. Include Field Voices 
   Tech succeeds when the people using it day-to-day are included in the conversation. Partnering gives field teams a seat at the table to shape how tools are deployed.

Final Thought: Technology Doesn’t Replace People, It Requires Them 

The myth that construction technology can replace coordination is finally being debunked. Instead, tech demands better coordination than ever before. Partnering is no longer a nice-to-have, it’s the bridge between digital promise and project reality. 

Construction is changing fast. If you want your team to thrive, not just survive, start with the culture that enables innovation.
