Session 3 & Lunch Cook Children’s Health Care System has adopted the Integrated Project Delivery (IPD) method as its delivery tool of choice for projects over $20M. Cook Children’s Health Care System and eight other partners created a “Virtual Company” and embarked on an IPD journey with two large capital projects in 2019. This session will highlight the challenges and opportunities faced as these IPD projects responded to the pandemic. It will showcase how the IPD method allowed for flexibility and altered the partner’s behavior resulting in successful delivery although the definition of “success” differed between the two projects. For those that may not be ready for or unable to utilize IPD, this session will highlight important tenets of the IPD method that could be used with other project delivery methods. Learning Objectives:
Speakers: Sam Werschky, P.E., Director, Construction & Facilities Planning; Spencer Seals, Vice President of Real Estate, Construction & Facilities Planning - Cook Children’s Health Care System |
