RELATED EVENT 9-11 December 2009	International Conference - Lean in the Public Sector (LIPS) Where: Germany - Karlsruhe Institute of Technology – Institute for Technology and Management in Construction Content: Cooperation between project participants has proven to be the foundation for avoiding cost- and schedule overruns, lack of quality, and legal conflicts. While “Lean Construction” and its contractual framework “Integrated Form of Agreement” is fruitfully used in North and South America and Europe, Australia successfully applies “Alliancing“. For the first time, experts for both approaches will come together, present, and discuss Alliancing and the Integrated Form of Agreement. Leading experts will offer seminars on Lean in general, and on the Integrated Form of Agreement (IFOA) and Alliancing at this conference. Day 3 will be a workshop with practical examples from the USA, Europe, and Australia offered by persons directly involved in the projects.
