The core programs are 2-day intensive workshops to"do the work" so you can go back to your organization and implement. There is also online, peer-group follow-up to support follow-through. Benefits to AEC Leaders & Owners:

  • An opportunity to focus and increase your organization's collaborative capability by defining collaboration, making it a strategy, "rightly ordering" collaborative skills and behavior training and evolving a collaborative culture. In the end, you have produced evidence of your collaborative capability.
  • CEU credits for various professional continuing education requirements are available.
  • Content and tools to bolster your collaborative best practices that can be incorporated into your firm's current daily routines, even without collaborative project delivery experience.
  • Leverage the best subject matter experts, the best learning delivery methods and the best AEC firms in the industry.
  • Onsite Meetings at the Cooper Center in Dallas.
  • If you prefer, an invoice can be sent instead of paying online. Please email your invoice request to Darren - This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it
