  Participants from cross functional roles as designers, constructors, owners, trades partners, and associations propose discussion topics around any subject about which they want to learn – THERE ARE NO IRRELEVANT DISCUSSION TOPICS!  Each proposer takes 15 to 30 seconds to pitch their topic, written on a sticky note, to the group. Once all topics have been pitched, voting begins to establish a priority for discussing the topics. Topics are then ordered from highest to lowest votes and examined accordingly. Participants will receive 8 minutes of time to discuss the topic. After 8 minutes there will be a ‘thumbs up/ thumbs down’ to decide whether or not the discussion should continue.

Who Is Managing Design? This presentation examines the growing use of contractor-side Design Managers and the tensions and redundancies that can be created when architects, builders, and trade partners believe they are filling gaps left by one another. It explores what designers need from contractors during design, what contractors need from designers, where responsibilities overlap, and how integrated teams can reduce redundant effort. Rather than adding more layers of “management,” the session proposes to treat design as part of a continuous project production system, pulling information from construction to inform design decisions, engaging expertise at the right time, and improving flow across the entire project.
