This paper discusses the term partnering, defined as a systematic approach to overall project management that promotes a positive working environment among project participants. Before a project begins, the key parties to the project are assembled and asked to form an agreement that establishes goals and a process for resolving conflict. An initial workshop begins the partnership process. Participants include the owner, project managers, the construction manager, the general contractor, key subcontractors, the designer, and any regulatory agencies. Over the course of two days, the role of each participant is explained, different behavioral styles are discussed, potential problems are identified, a dispute resolution process is established, an implementation plan that includes periodic reviewing is developed, and a partnering agreement that incorporates all of these elements is drawn up and signed by all participants. Includes 8 references, tables.
