In the next 10 years, differentiation will be hard to achieve within the boundaries of any individual discipline. Project delivery systems are broken and everyone knows it. Our buildings take too long to design and build, cost too much, and have difficulty responding to the ever-changing business demands of the owners. Desperately needed improvements simply can’t be achieved by any one of the individual disciplines involved. As horrible as it sounds, we’re actually going to have to talk to each other. The next generation of leaders will exploit the power of interdisciplinary collaboration.
We are particularly interested in comments regarding the relationship between new alliances and competitiveness.
