The Handbook is divided into five sections, each with a focus on several interconnected themes including:
- An introduction to IPD concepts.
- The foundational elements and characteristics of IPD.
- People, culture and collaboration as key ingredients to successful and effective IPD.
- Technology and process aspects of relational contracting forms such as IPD.
- New and relevant perspectives to IPD that have received scant attention to date.
- Aspects and emerging issues that are rarely consciously considered in traditional project delivery due to the commercial imperative that drives firms and client organisations.
The Handbook offers both discussions of these key themes, and also in-depth research into construction and other industry project procurement and delivery that spans decades. In addition, the Handbook presents ‘best’ and ‘better’ practice, but also includes insights into cutting-edge experimental developments in technology and practices where proof of concept is currently being developed into emerging practice. Contributing authors in this Handbook collaborate with the co-editors to draw together an integrated set of chapters that align to deliver a coherent narrative of the IPD concept. It is an invaluable reference for practitioners and academics alike, and useful as core course content for numerous degree programs of study and professional development courses.
