TitleBuilding a Synergistic and Cohesive Management and Operating Team, Light Rail: Investment for the Future
ShortDescriptionThis report recommends a synergistic team building approach for use in Light Rail start-ups that could be applied to design-build and operations staff involved in transportation project development and operations.
LongDescriptionThis report recommends a synergistic team building approach for use in Light Rail start-ups that could be applied to design-build and operations staff involved in transportation project development and operations. The model recommends incorporating and training people from the beginning of the project, starting with partnering sessions between the design-build managers and prime contractors. After successful partnering, the focus shifts to the senior leadership team (department heads from design-build, start-up, operations, maintenance, safety, training, and human resources). The goal is to stimulate team work at all levels, modeled by the senior leadership team.
