  down, square footage out but increase operational
  efficiency?
• What bold ideas could we develop?
• How would we do that?
• Took the last two weeks of December to design a
  way forward

How maintain productive tension between
collaboration and competition?

• The initial co-opetition strategy failed to drive
  innovation. Intellectual competition was
  submerged by collaboration.
• The project fortunately got a second chance when
  funding problems delayed the construction start
  date.
• Using target value design, the project team
  produced a design that met functional and quality
  requirements, within the budget.
