Sustained Thought Leadership.
Research-driven efforts designed to advance understanding of complex organizational and institutional challenges. We focus on long-term engagement with ideas, evidence, and practice.
Our work is intended to support leaders and institutions seeking deeper insight into how systems function—and how they can be redesigned.
Unlike one-off commentary, ReSCI's thought leadership work is grounded in organizational and institutional science. We believe meaningful change requires sustained attention to systems, not just tools.
FEATURED INITIATIVE
Integrated Project Delivery: A Year of Learning.
IPD represents a fundamental shift in how organizations collaborate, allocate risk, and govern complex projects. It is more than a contractual model; it is a social and organizational system.
Our year-long initiative is a public education effort exploring IPD's foundations, challenges, and implications through structured research and applied insight.
Overview of IPD
Introduce IPD as an organizational and institutional model rather than a technical tool to understand its origins, core principles, and problems it was designed to address.
ACCESS SECTION →Research Foundations
Situate IPD within organizational sociology, behavior, governance theory, and law-and-society scholarship.
ACCESS SECTION →Monthly Essays
A coherent learning arc released over one year that include behavioral logic, trust, risk, power, and cultural barriers to implementation.
ACCESS SECTION →Implementation Insights
Explore role ambiguity, authority shifts, and tensions between formal contracts and informal practice during IPD adoption.
ACCESS SECTION →Events & Discussions.
Periodic webinars, panel discussions, and facilitated conversations designed to create space for dialogue among practitioners, researchers, and leaders.
Why This Initiative Matters.
By treating Integrated Project Delivery as a subject of serious inquiry, we aim to support more thoughtful adoption, better implementation, and stronger institutional outcomes.
