The book covers preparing for IPD, developing contract structures, procuring and engaging IPD teams, and negotiating multi-party agreements. It then details governance, compensation, target setting and gates, change and escalation, risk management, and insurance/bonding. It concludes with global perspectives across multiple countries and discusses future improvements for more effective IPD implementation.","Table of Contents  \nCover  \nTable of Contents  \nTitle Page  \nCopyright  \nAbout the Author  \nContributing Authors  \nList of Contributors  \nAcknowledgments  \nIntroduction  \nPart 1: Preparing for IPD  \nChapter 1: What Is IPD?  \n1.1 Introduction  \n1.2 Business Model  \n1.3 Contract Structure  \n1.4 Enabling Behaviors  \n1.5 IPD and Other Collaborative Project Delivery Methods  \n1.6 IPD or IPD’ish?  \nNote  \nChapter 2: Is IPD Right for My Project, Organization, and IPD  \nTeam?  \n2.1 Overview  \n2.2 Choosing a Project Delivery System  \n2.3 Is IPD Right for My Project?  \n2.4 Is IPD Right for My Organization?  \n2.5 Is IPD Right for the Team?  \nNote  \nChapter 3: Preparing and Training the Owner  \n3.1 Introduction  \n3.2 Preparatory Work: Engaging the Owner  \n3.3 Owner Training  \nChapter 4: Developing the Contract Structure  \n4.1 Introduction  \n4.2 Form or Custom Contracts?  \n4.3 Contract Options  \nChapter 5: Procuring and Engaging the IPD Teamside  \n5.1 Outreach  \n5.2 Procuring the Team  \n5.3 IPD Procurement Process Chapter 6: The IPD Contracting Process  \n6.1 Contracting Process Summary of Part 1  \nPart 2: Negotiating the IPD Contract  \nChapter 7: Changing the Mindset  \n7.1 Changing the Mindset: The IPD Business and Legal Model  \n7.2 Changing the Mindset: Multiparty Agreements  \n7.3 Changing the Mindset: A Language Action Perspective  \n7.4 Changing the Mindset: Project Success Instead of Damage Control  \nNote  \nChapter 8: Negotiating a Multiparty Agreement  \n8.1 Multiparty Negotiation Principles  \n8.2 Current Multiparty Negotiation Flow and Processes  \n8.3 Commercial Negotiations  \n8.4 Insurance Summary of Part 2  \nNote  \nPart 3: The IPD Contract in Detail  \nChapter 9: The Relationship of the IPD Parties  \n9.1 Project or Program?  \n9.2 Polyparty (Many Parties) or Multiparty (3 Parties)?
