A Working Partnership
Abstract
Describes how John Brown Engineering and Constructors has set up project workshops for all involved parties to work together in a partnership environment. Reviews an approach combining the partnering style and the TQM philosophy. Contends that the design of the project workshop is crucial and it is important that it takes a holistic view of the problems identified. Concludes that competitive advantage will go to those who learn better ways to work together, and then rationally deploy this knowledge to the benefit of all. Partnering is teamwork between companies ‐ project workshops provide the chance to try it out, to train in it, and to excel.
