As a project delivery method, strategic partnerships share similarities with the Lean project delivery perspective and Integrated Project Delivery (IPD) as they all seek to achieve more collaborative projects. In this paper we will compare strategic partnerships, strategic partnering and IPD based on literature reviews and experiences from recent strategic partnerships and strategic partnering in Norway and Denmark. The paper explains strategic partnerships and partnering by structuring it according to three essential Lean Construction (LC) elements: Commercial, organizational, and operating system. A combination of literature review and document study was used for data collection. Also, online meetings with all authors participating were completed to discuss and analyse data. Experiences from a Norwegian case study and Denmark points to several success criteria that are crucial for the success of long-term collaboration, such as multi-project framework agreement, keeping the same people, and support from the management. Some of the success criteria stem from IPD and others might also be a positive application for IPD.
