IPD has been introduced in a paper at the International Group for Lean Construction 11th Annual Conference in July 2003 by O Mathews, G Howell, P Mitropoulos. The term IPD is a registered business mark by Lean Construction Institute with the US PTO. see http://www.leanconstruction.org/glossary.htm#Integrated%20Project%20Delivery Wonderful and insightful article.

Our firm uses Revit and would love to work with other consultants in a truly IPD-type process, but our problem is that almost none of our engineering consultants have embraced any kind of BIM technology. The outcome of this (and any other) IPD process should come as absolutely no surprise -- a lot of the fancy verbiage associated with IPD is really just common sense improvements to the design process. What is less obvious to people wishing to get into IPD are all the technological tools and processes required for creating and coordinating the 3D building data all the disciplines need to use. Working in AEC design is a complicated job; and now people need to learn complex software tools to facilitate IPD. Our local engineering colleagues need to start learning these tools. Now! Great article.
