The Integrated Practice Symposium

Tuesday, November 18

This symposium on integrated practice sponsored by the BSA and Autodesk brings together leading practitioners and researchers for a series of interactive panel presentations and case-study discussions. Topics addressed include collaborative integrated process management, the current and future state of integrated practice, organizational change and decision-making.

A02 Integrated Practice Symposium keynote: “What now?”
with Phil Bernstein FAIA, vice president of Autodesk
8:00 – 10:00 am

Integrated practice is the result of a convergence of opportunities brought about by technology and business process innovation and continued pressure to improve the outcomes of design and construction. What trends are lurking in the future to drive the design and construction industry in new directions? Consider some surprising scerios for the future and digest the implications of these scerios for your work and life.

A21 Business models for integrated practice
10:30am – noon

What are the implications of collaboration for business models and project methods? Building industry innovators present new approaches to evolving a business around integrated practice. In this forum session, a team of leaders considers the question from several perspectives – that of the owner, architect, engineer and contractor. Panelists also offer their views of a current project on which they are all participants.

A50 The state of integrated practice
1:30 - 3:00pm

A distinguished panel of leaders in design and construction present a diverse set of perspectives on the current state of project delivery innovations founded in formal collaboration. What are the obstacles to collaboration and shared risk and reward? How are firms overcoming these obstacles? What is the state of adoption of these practices in the industry today?

A68 Integrated practice case studies and an interactive case problem
4:00 - 5:30pm

What are the implications of integrated practice for the relationships among collaborators? In this interactive session, we review an integrated project proposed by a hypothetical client. Attendees break into groups to engage the issues of interactive project delivery point-by-point. Gain a first-hand understanding of the challenges and benefits of this approach.

The package cost for the symposium is $260 if you register before October 24 and $300 if you register after that date (this is a significant savings over the individual workshop costs). However, you may choose to register for one or more individual sessions by selecting the individual workshops in the a la carte section of the online registration site or under section 3 on the paper registration form.
