SUMMARY:Construction is a Continuous Process – Stop Siloing Your Results

Founder of International Partnering Institute\, she created the IPI Project Leader Certification training and designation.  Over the past four decades\, Sue has had the privilege of learning from over 4\,000 construction teams\, on projects valued at over $180 billion\, what it takes to create high-trust high-performing teams.  Known as the “Godmother of Partnering\,” Sue fostered the development of the Collaborative Partnering model that is used across the industry to help project teams create and steer their projects toward success. In Sue’s partnering experiences\, one thing that stood out was how often the project leaders didn’t know how to create a high-trust team.  So\, Sue created the IPI Project Leader Certification\, which uses proven models to teach project leaders how to lead better and create high-trust\, high-performing teams. \nRegister a team of 3 or more from your organization and save $15 each! \nSee Flyer for complete details and registration information. \nRSVP using the form below and you will be sent a link to pay for your registration.
