At the 20th annual LCI Congress, James Pease and Brittanie Campbell-Turner present on the topic of “How to Increase Adoption of the IPD Model by Using Blockchain.” In this presentation, James and I talked about how it's unquestionably the future to incorporate blockchain and smart contracts with construction contracting. In this presentation, we focus on integrated project delivery contracting although blockchain can impact / streamline any contracting model pending the algorithms are built correctly. James and I decided to focus IPD specifically because of the similarities of transparency contracting with both IPD and a distributed ledger technology. Find out more about James Pease: James Pease, Regional Manager of Facility and Property Services with Sutter Health, and integrated health system in Northern California spends between between 500M and 700M on their annual capital program. James is an experienced practitioner of the IPD model for 11+ years at Sutter Health. James also developed an education platform at http://LeanIPD.com (LeanIPD.com), where he has been sharing through webinars and blog posts different elements about how to be successful in running lean projects. Last year, James participated in the development of an IPD guide that shares how to carry out an IPD projects, you can find the guide at http://leanipd.com (leanipd.com). https://www.linkedin.com/in/jamespease/ (LinkedIn) https://twitter.com/leanipd?lang=en (Twitter) https://leanipd.com/ (Lean IPD) https://leanipd.com/integrated-project-delivery-an-action-guide-for-leaders/ (IPD An Action Guide for Leaders) Previous Podcast Episode with James Pease: http://How to Develop a Collaborative Culture on Every Project with James Pease (How to Develop a Collaborative Culture on Every Project with James Pease) Music By: Epic Music Supervision

https://www.linkedin.com/in/jean-marc-legentil-223b101/ (Jean-Marc Legentil) with Bell Nordic Council Clifton Cole with Penta Building Group https://www.linkedin.com/in/henry-nutt-iii-7832347/ (Henry Nutt) with Southland Industries Matt Graetz with Blattner Energy I see this year, 2019, as the year of leadership. Which comes with humility and self-awareness, with the ability to Return back to joy. It comes with vulnerability and transparency. It comes with being yourself. Have you ever heard the saying 'flying by the seat of your pants'? According to phrases.org, "This is an early aviation parlance. Aircraft initially had few navigation aids and flying was accomplished by means of the pilot's judgment. ... The old flying expression of 'flies by the seat of his trousers' was explained by Larry Conner, means going aloft without instruments, radio or other such luxuries." What makes a leader? You cannot fly by the seat of your pants and expect to meet success. What I mean by that is - if you don't know the measurement of what you starting from with you not know the measure in which you intend to improve. What I'm excited about is intentional leadership. Each one of the people on this episode spoke with me at the LCI congress as this episode is a continuation of the LCI recap. Each person has a different take on what leadership looks like and how they serve their communities to take them to self-sufficiency. I wanted to make special mention that the first voice you will hear in the in the intro - the voice of Henry Nutt, LCI - Pioneer Award Winner. He received that award because of his ability to open up pathways for others to also be able to define their own leadership capability - encouraging others to do things based on who they are and who they want to be. In turn, this results in achieving beyond status-quo because you are not trying to be like someone else. Your value comes with being authentic. He tells us of the steps he took in becoming a pioneer and what we can learn from it. www.constructrr.com/lci2019recap Music By: Epic Music Supervision

Part 1 of LCI Congress 2018 Recap Bruce Cousins, Managing Partner at Sword Integrated Building Solutions.  Design is a complex and iterative approach to collecting specifications of building system components and detailing the vision of a structure meant to be constructed. Its a little bit like taking a train. You should know both the destination and the direction you should be taking before you start on the journey, you should know the fare, you should know how long it should take to get there. Many of us come together to reach a unique destination, but we have to figure which station we are leaving from. Bruce shares his train ride with us. Bruce talks about his mission on how to improving the Last Planner through better Design Management.

In this talk, I discussed the changing age we are in. One that is meant to take advantage of the network platform economic model that is affording companies to grow in valuations beyond any financial analysts expectation. One where our interactions can create a knowledge asset platform for us to better resource our projects with the right engineering talent. Where engineering talent and organizations can access more profits by becoming a knowledge asset platform. We can take advantage of network platforms through blockchain communities, and I discuss how the projects I'm involved with demonstrate just that.   Projects Mentioned: https://coengineers.io/ (CoEngineers) - Engineering Validation Platform https://www.etch.work/ (Etch Work) - Real-Time Payments on Construction https://www.intelliwavetechnologies.com/ (Intelliwave Technologies) - Blockchain Real-Time Supply Chain Tracking https://digibuild.com/ (DigiBuild) - Reputation and Payment Processing Platform https://www.smartvid.io (Smart Vid) - A.I Saftey Video Capture The Return on Humans Episodes:  http://www.constructrr.com/ep97/ (The Value Beyond Cost Savings for Corporate Real Estate) http://www.constructrr.com/ep96/ ( Experience Per Square Foot Measuring the Employee Experience) http://www.constructrr.com/ep95 (The Healthy Work Place Nudge)

Thomas Wendling is an advisor to the https://iebc.co/ (Integrated Engineering Blockchain Consortium), (IEBC) a professional systems engineer at http://www.jacobs.com/ (Jacobs Engineering), and a co-founder of https://coengineers.io/ (CoEngineers.io), a blockchain engineering platform cooperative. I spoke with Dan Robles from the https://iebc.co/ (Integrated Engineering Blockchain Consortium), (IEBC) in episode 66 at https://www.constructrr.com/ep66 (EP 66), who birthed the idea of an engineering resume that promotes training to fill the skill gap and reduces the risk on engineering design. I've met Thomas because he is an advisor to the IEBC and we are working together contributing to https://coengineers.io/ (CoEngineers.io), a blockchain engineering platform cooperative.  We talk about this economic value model that can help to reduce risk by understanding the intrinsic value of a person who has a skill regardless of background. Before we cover CoEng, I discuss with Thomas about what has been doing in his career with Jacobs. We talk about the current state of infrastructure - the notion of obsolescence of physical or capital property or assets, and what happens when a property exist for longer than its intended life with less maintenance than ideal.

Chris Dorian is the CEO and Founder at BuildSort, where BuildSort is a blockchain technology that assists with the building and construction industry to support supply chain, documentation, tracking project management metrics, in addition to integration with BIM. In episode 57, Kimon Onuma talked about http://www.constructrr.com/ep57/ (Creating Agility and Efficiency by using Architecture as a Platform) - that episode is very useful to understand what BuildSort provides because we cover how to make the data in BIM models useful.  Building architects and engineers are using building information modeling however, there's a lot of rework in the system in order for the data in the models to be useful. The general contractor, trades, and suppliers often work together to rebuild review and approve usable BIM models for their scope of work. If companies were able to sell their data back and forth with one another on a platform it would reduce the amount of rework in the industry and THIS is what BuildSort provides. Chris has a background in structural engineering design and values the use of BIM. We talk about that and how BuildSort may be able to support a solution to get us to BIM Level 3. It is great to hear his perspective.
