Abstract

The Walker and Lloyd-Walker (2015) Collaboration Framework was introduced in Chapter 2 of this book. The first element listed was motivation, and the context that sets the logic of taking an integrated project delivery (IPD) approach. Elements six to ten relate to collaborative behaviours. These behaviours pertain to the need for people to have confidence in each other and create an emotionally safe work environment. We argue that foundational concepts for collaborative behaviours begin with committed people trusting each other and communicating openly within governance structures and norms that support that basic premise.
