Construction
Panel: The Success OF IPD Projects Integrated Project Delivery was developed as a solution to construction projects’ adversarial relationships, low rates of productivity, high rates of inefficiency and rework, frequent disputes, and lack of innovation, resulting in too many projects that cost too much and take too long to build. Project Management Professionals are proficient in Integration Management for different aspects of a project. The PMBoK Framework is applicable to any type of project, but when it comes to Integrated Project Delivery, there are contractual, psychological, and business management skills needed to successfully carry out the management of a quality end product that mixes Team Culture, Owner Business Objectives, and Contractor’s Financial Goals.

We
had another successful Symposium this year! On April 23, 436
valued attendees joined us for our second all virtual Symposium.
What an exciting time for our chapter, to know that we applied
the principles we've learned from our speakers and we delivered
value in the new normal! Our many breakout speakers were
first class in their content and delivery. Our keynote, Ted
Ma, was up early on the west coast delivering his important
message on leadership with enthusiasm and an energy that carried
us throughout the day.
Dr.
Melanie Magruder has more than 20 years of leadership experience
in corporate business, customer relations, mentoring and coaching,
corporate training, community and social outreach, and business
performance. Offering a rare blend of creative and operational
strengths, Dr. Melanie has achieved exciting success in developing
and implementing community projects; and is recognized for her
success in growing business partnerships and relationships.
Gurjit
is always on the lookout to expand her horizons and uses her
experiences to build breadth, perspective and foresight into
both her personal and professional life. Clearly, she has more
than a few things on the go... and it's all on purpose! Of course
her 2 boys take the cake as her pride and joy, but her other
positions don’t fall too far behind.
