Collaborative Delivery Leadership Academy

DBIA’s Collaborative Delivery Leadership Academy (the Academy), in partnership with Barbara Jackson, LLC, is designed to equip AEC professionals with the leadership skills and mindset needed to successfully make the mental shift from a segregated services approach to an integrated one. 

The rapid growth of design-build presents the need for leaders who can deftly navigate the unique landscape of collaborative project delivery. Projections show that nearly half of all construction spending will be design-build by 2026, so building a strong foundation of leadership is vital to keeping up with that trend.

Are you ready to Elevate your leadership? The highly collaborative nature of Design-Build requires six distinct skillsets, each addressed via its own module within the Academy:

1. Leadership (8 hours - prerequisite)
2. Communications (8 hours)
3. Teaming (8 hours)
4. Trust (5 hours)
5. Mindset (5 hours)
6. Culture (5 hours)
