Bio: One of the most active construction Partnering facilitators in the world, I am passionate about forming collaborative partnerships leading to a remarkable project experience for all stakeholders. With a strong reputation for achieving team success no matter the project delivery method, number of parties involved, or challenges presented, I aim to deliver value through proven Partnering strategies, including creating project-specific Partnering plans, setting common measurable goals and instilling open communication techniques among team members. A lifelong learner driven by a curiosity for developing solutions to complex challenges, my journey as a Construction Partnering Facilitator began more than 17 years ago. I enjoy facilitating project teams primarily because of the results my clients obtain by focusing on developing collaborative relationships through open and honest dialogues. Proficient at problem solving and communication, my no-nonsense, pragmatic approach is recognized by clients worldwide.

I have extensive experience facilitating Partnering sessions on nearly every type of construction project—from large scale government-funded projects to hospitals, highways, airports, railways, water treatment plants and more. I work with managers, executives and field personnel at all levels of the project team, including project owners, construction companies, architecture and engineering firms, as well as third-party entities critical to the project’s success. Clients include LA Metro, Seattle Sound Transit, NAVFAC, USACE, Caltrans, NDOT and many more.

Every team, project and challenge are different, and that is what excites me most. I believe that a goal-driven vision, and the desire to move forward with velocity will create extraordinary results. Exemplifying the value my Partnering strategies provide, projects using my Partnering approach have won numerous industry awards garnering recognition for the project team.

Bio: Bill initially got involved with the partnering movement in the early 1990s as Practice Leader for Partnering at FMI Corporation, a management consulting organization that works exclusively within the design & construction industry. After working with some of the early pioneers of partnering (Chuck Cowan and Tom Warne at the time with the Arizona DOT), Bill & FMI helped push partnering out across the industry nationally with as many as 12-15 facilitators involved. By 2000 Bill, a smaller FMI core group, and their most committed clients arrived on a partnering model that is similar to the current IPI model. By the time Bill took on the partnering practice under his own shop from FMI in 2019, FMI consultants had facilitated partnering on over 1,400 projects with Bill having been personally involved with over 400. In addition to working with CALTRANS in some of their early experiences with partnering, Bill has assisted numerous organizations in launching their partnering programs, including Arizona DOT, Master Builders Construction & Housing Authority (Australia), New York City DEP, the Texas DOT, and the US Army Materiel Command (Rock Island) and other US Army commands involved with major defense contracts. While he facilitates partnering on projects of all sizes, he has developed a particular expertise on mega projects and stressed turnaround projects.
