INITIAL KICK-OFF WORKSHOP. In order to achieve effective and efficient completion of the HSR Project the Partners agree to conduct a kick-off workshop where they will identify issues for resolution that are present or foreseeable and engage in joint problem solving and action planning on the issues identified. At a minimum, during this workshop, participants will develop the following procedures and agreements to facilitate the collaborative relationship and aid in identifying and resolving issues as they may arise throughout the HSR Project: “Issues Resolution Ladder” (IRL) – a hierarchy of those individuals within the HSR Project including the Partners and extending across organizational boundaries to address issues as they arise to facilitate communication and address issues before those issues are elevated to the next ladder rung. “Partnering Implementation Plan” (PIP) – the intention of the PIP is to sustain the collaborative relationship after the kick-off meeting by establishing monthly or quarterly schedule of partnering meetings and any procedures necessary for the identification and resolution of any issues during the performance of the Facility Work to be addressed by the Partners.
