"This is really a business strategy. It's not just a problem. It's not just a project, We're building a relationship. It requires an invested interest on (all) sides and it brings the best to the table. It's really using design as a value proposition." -- Eva Maddox, Perkins+Will

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

"The way we're delivering construction services now is just broken. We know that owners are not getting the best quality and the occupants within the spaces are not getting the best working environment. There's a better way of doing business out there… and it's just a mindshift away." -- Mark Iammarino, Turner Construction

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

"Front-end-loaded decision-making-- that is where we want to head as an organization. That's where we want to head as an industry. Get the right players, get the right scope, get it all defined up front and get on with the project. I think that is an ingredient for success whether you're a client, whether you're a contractor or whether you're an architect."
-- Harm Perdok, GMB Architects and Engineers

 

 

 

 

 

 


“We’re taking multiple parties and changing the rules so that they can all act as a single team. And all parties understand what the ultimate goal is – they have a common basis of understanding, and they’re committed to achieving that goal.”
-- Howard Ashcraft, Hanson Bridgett LLP

 

 

 

 

 

 

 


“Mindshift is a team-structure that transforms the [traditional] pyramid into a circle. You’re moving from a hierarchy of decision making – where the further down the pyramid you are the less power you have and the later you get involved in the project – and you’re creating a collaboration model with the project at the center. Now you’re leveraging the collaborative strength of the diversity within that circle of knowledge.”
-- Bill Black, Haworth
