Traditionally we have relied on anecdotal evidence to suggest how Lean project teams typically deliver better project outcomes. Empirical evidence now shows that projects with high Lean intensity are three times more likely to complete ahead of schedule and two times more likely to complete under budget. How and why Lean and IPD projects are excelling were explored through two separate Lean Construction Institute research efforts conducted by Dodge Data & Analytics and University of Minnesota.
- We benchmarked 162 projects and inquired about 27 management methods
- Research results now demonstrate statistically significant correlations between high Lean intensity and project success
- This effort definitively breaks down some common myths about Lean project work, and makes a compelling case that Lean makes a positive difference in project performance
Join us to find out why owners, architects, engineers, and constructors are forging ahead with Lean. Attendees will learn how to use this compelling information as a call to action, and a way to change the project mindset for the better. They will leave the event with an understanding of how to get started, and the best way to tell the story.

Speakers:
Rebecca Snelling, JE Dunn Construction
Rebecca Snelling coaches a variety of people, teams and organizations on Lean Transformation. She started in the construction industry in 1996, beginning her Lean journey in 2006 and is currently employed by JE Dunn Construction as their National Lean Director.
Prior to JE Dunn, Rebecca spent more than five years consulting on the application of Lean principles in various organizations and project types. This includes working with owners, architects, contractors and engineers, Integrated Lean Project Delivery teams, leading strategic planning sessions and implementing various other Lean practices.
She has been actively involved with the Lean Construction Institute (LCI) and is a contributing author of the LCI book Transforming Design and Construction, a Framework for Change. She is a Master Trainer of the Choosing by Advantages Decision-making System. Rebecca holds a degree in Business Management from the University of Phoenix.
If you ever struggled getting a project team to collaboratively make decisions that are focused on the project value proposition, then Choosing by Advantages (CBA) can help! CBA allows for visual and transparent decision making. It also aligns with the desired values and culture of Lean/IPD and allows teams to emphasize a project’s value to its stakeholders/customers. CBA is a decision-making system that acknowledges all decisions are essentially subjective, but then guides the participants towards objectively discovered, documented facts. This session will be a brief introduction to the CBA decision making system so you can understand its benefits.
With CBA, decision makers can reach consensus, focus on outcomes, and understand all of the factors considered during the decision-making process. CBA creates transparency to the decision making process so it is simple to review or revisit decisions later in the project. Learn how CBA can work for you.

Speakers:
Ed Anderson, Operations VP, Construct-X, Apopka
Brikena Tomasic, Esq., Attorney, Tomasic Law P.L., Orlando
Ed Anderson, has been coaching Last Planner with many different teams in many different countries for over 12 years. Here is what the participants discover over and over again.
ONE — that construction folks do not know how to effectively communicate. For the most part they think that talking will get it done. When I start coaching I note the date and time every time I hear someone say “When will you be finished with such-and-such so that I can start my work?” After a week or so I make a slide of my notes on these conversations and ask “Why are you guys asking the same question over and over of the same people?” They get it. They realize that they need to be more explicit and communicate more in writing, ergo the planning wall sticky-note process.
TWO — (and this really goes hand in glove with ONE) — they realize that they do not know how to plan their own work much less plan in a collaborative environment. Again, they realize that talking alone does not get it.
THREE — They, and more importantly, their management, if their management has participated in the Last Planner sessions, see that many, if not most of the problems are not caused by the field personnel but by their support personnel: wrong information, incomplete information, wrong or late materials, etc.
On many projects little is done to correct the upstream issues.
This is where Advanced Work Packaging comes in. Essentially, the process creates a buffer of constraint-free Installation Work Packages (IWPs) that are sized to be a week’s worth of work. This is to assure that the workers work productively as opposed to either standing around waiting for the resolution to a problem they just discovered, or moving from place to place because not enough attention was paid to making their tasks constraint free. Why one week’s worth of work? Because we have learned from lean concepts that smaller batches are better than larger ones.
One of the big advantages of AWP is that stuff gets closed out, temporary paperwork goes away, and there is little punch list work required.
Ed’s company, Construct-X, is taking a new approach to AWP and incorporating Lean Construction and Lean Manufacturing concepts as opposed to just creating constraint-free work packages. Believe it or not, the process and power industries think “Lean” is a dirty word, but they love AWP. So we don’t use the word Lean, we just employ more Lean principles into AWP to make it more effective. The 3D model is often the basis for building these IWPs.
Brikena Tomasic Esq., an attorney with Tomasic Law P.L. concentrates her practice in the areas of construction law and business law in Orlando, Florida. In the second half of the meeting Brikena will be presenting “Legal Framework: Opportunities and pitfalls in your Lean Construction Journey”. There will be an activity with small groups and discussion on the activity.
Refreshments will be served.

Speaker:
Ted Angelo, Executive Vice President, Grunau Company, Orlando
Ted will go over the highlights of the 16th annual LCI Congress and discuss comments from Art Byrne, author of The Lean Turnaround.
Though he began his lean journey at General Electric, Mr. Byrne is most recognizable for the lean implementation he led as CEO of Wiremold. He has since led lean transformations in over 30 companies as CEO through his work as Operating Partner with J.W.Childs Associates, L.P., which he chronicles in The Lean Turnaround. In addition to providing a repeatable implementation methodology, The Lean Turnaround highlights the role of the leader and the fact that a lean strategy can be used to turn around any type of company.
The second part of the meeting will consist of an activity regarding “Who really is the Last Planner”?
The ‘Last Planner’ provides the planning and control tools necessary to manage work on projects small or large. A project is properly planned when we can do what we say we are going to do. In other words keeping commitments. You will understand how this Lean Tool is used in various situations whether it is used by all trades, a single trade or design team. You will participate in developing your own Planner. Don’t miss the opportunity to learn by doing!

Reggie Morgan, CEO, DeAngelis Diamond Healthcare Group, Naples
Jason Sain, Vice President, DeAngelis Diamond Healthcare Group, Naples
Eric Brackin, Project Manager, DeAngelis Diamond Healthcare Group, Naples
Ed Anderson, Principal, Lean Implementation Services, Orlando, FL
Reggie, Jason and Eric will be demonstrating a pull planning session based on a previous healthcare project. They will show how pull planning created a teamwork atmosphere, trade partner buy-in and a mutually agreed upon schedule that enhanced the overall project’s budget, schedule and quality of the work. First they will define the process. Then they will discuss how to set up the pull planning session, the tools needed, goals, expectations and how to track the overall project schedule. They will talk about the necessity to have “Last Planners” involved in the pull session on each project. After the pull plan they will conduct a plus/delta on the pull process vs. the traditional critical path method (CPM).
In the second half Ed will explain how to play the “Parade of Trades” dice game and the attendees will break up into groups and play the game. This game has been shown to be an effective simulation of what occurs on construction sites, and the associated conversations between trades foremen and the superintendent. Hand-offs and workflow between subcontractors are simulated by rolling a die and moving poker chips. The game sets participants up for discovering there is a more effective way to communicate, which relates directly to a better way to plan the work, which relates directly to improving all stakeholders productivity.
Refreshments will be served.
