1.1 Mutual Benefit and reward: All parties of construction project will benefit from IPD. The integrated process required more participants' involvement at early stage, because the IPD structure will recognize the compensation and reward at early involvement. The compensation will be based on adding value to the project and it will rewards what's the best for the project instead of individual benefit. For example providing incentives tied to achieving project objectives and goals. The concept is to use innovative business models to enhance collaboration and efficiency.
1.2 Mutual respect and trust: The IPD requires from all participants such as owner, designer, consultants, constructor and suppliers to understand the

1.6 Intensified planning: By increasing the effort in planning, the efficiency and saving during execution will be increased. So the concept is to improve the design results as well as smoothing and shortening the much more expensive construction effort, not to reduce the design effort.
1.7 Appropriate Technology: One of the successful key in the integration project approach now a day is that the integrated project based on cutting edge technology. So it is vital to specify the technologies at the project initiation to maximize functionality, generality and interoperability. The IPD approach is coordination and collaboration process, for that it is essential to support it with open and interoperable data exchanges based on disciplined and transparent data structures where the technology is appears. This type of practice is called open standards which enable communications among all participants, so the technology used should comply with the open standards whenever available.
1.8 Open communication: The IPD based on team performance which requires open, direct, and honest communication among all participants. It is important that the responsibilities are clearly defined in a no-blame culture between the participants which will leads to identify and resolve the problems, not to determine of liability.
1.9 Organization and leadership: The IPD approach is an organization in its self and all team members are committed

Thousands of girls and boys are forced into human trafficking and the slavery market daily. However, it is not always forced labor, but voluntary. These underground activities affect families and puts them at potential danger of someone being trapped in human trafficking (Clause & Lawler, 2013). Many families are unaware of the dangers that exists today, even in America, and the different ways victims are trapped by and/or unable to escape human traffickers (McClain & Garrity, 2011). It is important to make families aware of these dangers since individuals who are caught in human trafficking have not provided consent nor agreed to this oppressive lifestyle. In 2012, there were 44 survivors of human trafficking cases reported in Kansas (Halley, 2012) while in 2013, Rapp (2014) reported that over 200 individuals were identified as victims of human trafficking throughout Kansas. There continues to be inadequate understanding of what human trafficking is and how to intervene. There are many families that are unaware to the extent of how youth and communities are impacted by this social issue (Macy & Graham, 2012).
Within the project-based organizations is developed throughout the completion of projects. Between the non-project based organizations, the other areas of the project are completed
These problems ultimately result in incomplete work and a policy that is not to a high quality of standard. To remove these problems the team members need to improve their communication with each other, to do so they need to be more aware of their listening, verbal and non-verbal listening skills. It is recommended that management give training to the members on the different communication types, how to demonstrate effective interpersonal skills through their verbal communication and through gestures and expressions that are made when in a conversation with another member, leading to better understanding and respect for each other (Rasmussen, Mylonas and Beck, 2012). The company should promote healthy intrapersonal skills and self-awareness of their behaviours towards others. By completing these recommendations the team will work together efficiently and respectfully leading to the overall success in the task at hand. The success of the team also depends upon the team leader and each of its members. (Rasmussen, Mylonas and Beck, 2009)
Another key area that is necessary for the successful completion of the client construction project is the organization for the site meetings. Through a properly planned and conducted site meeting, much can be accomplished since well planned meetings enhance positive achievement, (Shmueli, Pliskin & Fink, 2016, pg 400). However, meetings with no pre-planning will tend to accomplish very little, and always result into a waste of time which is one of the most valuable resources. According to (Shmueli, Pliskin & Fink, 2016, pg 399), for the construction project, personnel have the right to call on the meetings which can be convened by both the Principal Contractor and the organization’s Key Personnel such as the construction Manager, Project Manager, Estimator and the Accountant. In the meeting some of the most important issues that can be discussed comprise of the feasibility of the Project. Generally, feasibility of the any project is based on the project’s Tender Documents.
The “Five Keys” of PBL (project based learning), as shown in the video were: real world connections, core to learning, structured collaboration, student driven, and multifaceted assessments. For me, the most important keys are the: real world connections, student driven, and structured collaboration. The reason is simple, the goal of education is to ready an upcoming population into the workforce. For those with great aptitude, education provides the means to further one’s self. Everyone should strive for academic excellence, but some people lack the willpower of necessary cognitive skills to do so. This is where having an education system based on student driven learning comes into play. PBL incorporates this by having the students solving real world problems or by allowing real world project to be created. The student learns something they can see an end goal for, thusly creating their drive to carry it out. Structured collaboration allows for the students to work together while staying on track. Going back to the early comment, I said I particularly enjoyed three of the five keys. Putting them into perspective for life after school: a self driven person will achieve more, having them focus on real world task i.e. getting money or going about their job will push this self-motivation forward. The structured collaboration key comes into play here, as students learn to talk and work
Since the process was re-structured, ISD now lead projects related to Information Development. This ensures that the project is assessed from all perspectives of the business and not a specific single divisional viewpoint.

Less autonomy since the major specifications of the product is pre-defined and already committed prior to the detail design. This means the engineer cannot easily change the design if this is against the approved specification of the product.
In today's business it is in the best interest of companies to have project managers. Common sense isn't always easily accomplished. Anyone who's ever worked on a project in a technical setting knows this. Indeed, much of working with others consists of solving unexpected problems and learning from mistakes along the way. Knowing this and having the proper tools a project manager will be able to manage and complete the most intense project out there.
All internal stakeholders want to be part of this development and are motivated to make it work
Project Integration Management – management of all processes to ensure proper coordination of the project.
In my extensive project experience I have been involved with all aspects of project delivery:
‘Briefing is the process by which a client informs others of his or her needs, aspirations and desires, either informally or formally, and a brief is a formal document which sets out a client’s requirements in detail’ (CIB, 1999, p.5).
A project which I was encountered with was in the healthcare industry and can speak for is the Benefits simplification project. The project was about the way Medicare members looked at their portal and gets information regarding what benefits they are covered for. It turned out that most of the members got confused with the information presented and end up calling an associate to get an explanation of their benefits. The project thus undertaken was to simplify the benefits grid so that members will understand the information presented on their portal and wont call at the call center thereby reducing call volume and in turn expenses of those
