Partnering

Abstract

This pamphlet describes the concepts and implementation of an innovative new program, Partnering, designed to create a positive, disputes-prevention atmosphere during contract performance. Partnering uses team-building activities to help define common goals, improve communication, and foster a problem-solving attitude among a group of individuals who must work together throughout contract performance. While Partnering can be used to improve all kinds of working relationships within the Corps of Engineering, this pamphlet will concentrate on owner/contractor relations in construction contracts.
