The process of project management is imperative to the success of construction in the grain handling and processing industry. Partnering- construction project teambuilding- is the process of aligning the goals and expectations of all construction project stakeholders with the requirements of the project.The formation of team relationships and the alignment of scope, schedule and budget are foundational to a successful project outcome. The partnering process gives all stakeholders the opportunity to understand the owner's goals as well as the perspectives, needs and ideas of all key project team members. This presentation will introduce the basic partnering process and will review the characteristics of high performing teams. Attendees will also learn the purpose and content of a partnering meeting, and discover the components necessary for a team to succeed.
