Over the next decade, both construction and energy efficiency projects, will face new hurdles such as: changing consumer demands, supply chain issues, energy code changes, changing technologies, increased cyber-security attacks, resiliency demands, healthy building requirements, and unprecedented regulatory demands. These challenges will add significant risks to projects scopes, increase stress to people, and will require project teams to collaborate in order to find comprehensive solutions from the design and delivery phases to the close out and handover phases to achieve success.

The utilization of the status quo mindset of project delivery to conquer these risks will push the project members to further focus solely on themselves, will narrow their focus to individual scope requirements only, will cause less teamwork, will shift the goals away from the owner’s, and will limit or diminish the project team’s success.

The old way of doing business by using the buy/sell or prime/sub relationship simply will not work. Adversarial and siloed project delivery methods, mindsets, and people will not adequately deliver successful projects. Owners will need agile and collaborative project teams to develop, evaluate, and incorporate application specific technologies and solutions to meet their needs, and overcome the emerging obstacles to bring their vision to fruition.

Built upon both the successful and painful lessons learned, Academy Energy Group’s (AEG) approach to support and guide teams in stressful environments, is to light the path to find solutions for the “Group”. We empower people to use their skills, gifts, and talents to unlock solutions and deliver results for our project teammates, the owners, and the end-users.

Our vision is to promote and demonstrate the power of partnerships and how the collaborative approach to project delivery will be the best choice to achieve success in the future. Our approach is built upon an environment that cultivates innovative solutions, fosters mutual respect amongst team members, and provides service to others throughout the project.

The foundation of AEG’s collaborative Partnership approach is open, honest, direct, and transparent communication fueled by selfless service.

By 2032, AEG we will be involved in 25 truly collaborative customer Partnerships.
