The problem is that Mom and Pop are still hanging on for dear life and won't let go. They will eventually have to, and that is when we'll make some real progress.

It's hard enough getting external 'partners' to open up, harder still when our own internal resistance is hard to overcome - old habits die hard (and anyone who says otherwise is fibbing). We aren't where we need to be yet, but we will get there...Enjoyed the blog immensely. ….Now I just have to convince everyone at EllisDon of the benefits of ‘Getting Naked’.

Excellent links you’ve provided. Good observations about challenges facing the industry. The Ellis Don president suggests the potential benefits of collaboration are worth the risk of opening up as an organization. As a mediator, with a background in IT and construction, I can understand his enthusiasm. I think the expansion of the construction industry’s online collaborative practices offers tremendous upside, both for the industry and society-at-large! Kevin,
