About the Series

The complete IPD framework — from someone who has built it

Designed for hospital capital leaders, healthcare owners, and project delivery teams ready to evaluate and adopt Integrated Project Delivery.

If you're leading healthcare construction programs, IPD isn't a question of whether — it's a question of when. This series gives you the framework to get there before your next project demands it. Six practitioner-led sessions covering IPD, IFOA, Lean, and Target Value Delivery, taught by the people who have built these projects.

Practitioner-Led

Taught by John Zachara — a 30-year project management veteran who was part of the first IFOA project in healthcare in Chicago. Peer-level intelligence, not vendor noise.

Structured Curriculum

Six episodes build on each other — from the case for change through IPD fundamentals, IFOA structure, Lean tools, Target Value Delivery, and project leadership. You finish the series able to evaluate, structure, and lead an IPD project.

Built for Busy Leaders

One session per month, one hour each. Attend live with Q&A access or watch the recording on your schedule. No travel, no conflicts.

Year-Round Value

The series runs October 2026 through May 2027, extending your HCPD investment into an 8-month education platform. Every recording stays in your library.
