Welcome and General Session Barbara Bryson, Creating a Culture of Predictable Outcomes Most players in the design and construction industry believe in the magic of selecting the perfect delivery process. However, it is well documented that a great team can overcome the deficiencies of a poor process and even a poor contract, but no process can ever overcome the deficiencies of a lousy team or an owner/client that does not take their responsibilities seriously. The real truth is, predictable outcomes for projects are a product of team culture, not process. |
