High performing teams function on collaborative brain power to rapidly advance work and add value by driving down overall project costs in a Big Room setting. Effective Big Rooms are only possible with the right kind of mindset and behaviors that break down the traditional silos to allow for cross-functional team collaboration and decision-making. LCI’s Mindset of an Effective Big Room education course creates a simulated Big Room experience encouraging you to create, manage and lea your own detailed Big Room concept and implementation plan tailored to your project’s specific needs whether you have had previous experience or not. Small groups will discuss onboarding new members, technology and real world challenges to Big Room implementation and report back to the large group to share and create a list of standards and better practices.

Following up on our 2017 LCI presentation based on the ConsensusDocs 300, we will be conducting a contract workshop based on the AIA C191 contract for IPD. The purpose of a contract workshop is for the design and construction team to discuss the articles of the contract that establish the business case, and to come to an agreement on the terms within these articles. The key sections typically include management of the project, compensation and allowable costs, profit risk/reward and incentive payments, and risk sharing. Through a series of discussions and breakout sessions, the attendees will learn about these issues and build their own business case. This workshop will simulate the type of IPD workshop that is normally conducted early in the design phase of a project.
THE WORKSHOP WILL CONSIDER MANY OF THESE QUESTIONS:

Unpredictable workflows correlate with an increase to construction costs and schedules. In response to 1990s research revealing 54 percent of construction project commitments were completed on time, LCI developed the Last Planner® System (LP®S) with five levels designed to help project teams maintain reliable workflow while maximizing efficiency and safety. Now, you can complete LCI’s Introduction to Last Planner® System to learn how it improves communication, trust and transparency across all stakeholders. Engage in group discussions and see for yourself how variations in flow impact the entire project with the Parade of Trades simulation embedded in this 4-hour LCI education course.

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.
Speaker:

Join us for a Lean Coffee to learn and support each other in our Lean endeavors! Take part in an open conversation in a safe, small and low-pressure environment about the topics that are relevant to our Lean community. We want to hear about the problems you are solving, the issues you want to solve, and lessons you’ve learned on your Lean Journey. No previous Lean experience is required.
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. Thumbs up equals 4 more minutes on the clock. This happens until it is agreed that the topic has been discussed to satisfaction. Takeaways are considered and then the topic with the next largest amount of votes is addressed. Come as you are and be ready to learn.

What is the format for this event?
This Lean event will use a Study Action Team (SAT)[1] format. Unlike some of our CoP events in which the attendee mainly listens to and learns about lean/continuous improvement from a speaker/presenter, this event will be guided by two facilitators. The attendees are asked to do the three (3) things listed below:
1) Read the recommended readings included on your confirmation receipt, prior to the day of the event.
2) Share their answers to the following three questions, per the recommended readings, during the day of the event.
a) What are the author’s main point(s) and what evidence is offered to support of them?
b) What point(s) from the author are relevant to you, your project team, your Company’s future goals and objectives? Which ones aren’t?
c) What possible points from the author do you think you, your project team, and/or your Company are open to implementing, after the day of this event?
3) Have an open mindset to hear the thoughts, ideas, and experiences from the other attendees, per the recommended readings, during the day of the event.

“5 Why” is a common tool in problem solving, but “5 Why” only gets to one root cause – often there are multiple root causes. For this we need a more robust methodology: Root Cause Analysis. Come join us as we learn how to implement this tool together.
Objectives:
1. Learn how to clearly define a significant project or organization problem by describing the current condition
2. Learn the general principles of Root Cause Analysis (RCA) as practiced by Toyota and reported by Stephen Spears in High Velocity Edge
3. Learn how to combine active facilitation, the Fishbone (Ishikawa) Diagram and 5 Why questioning to achieve identification and evaluation of multiple root causes
4. Learn how to move from root causes to mitigation measures (without jumping to “solutions” too early)
7:00 AM – A light breakfast with water and coffee will be provided.
7:30 AM – Training starts (promptly)

| The ideal Lean IPD project has a collaborative business model, a supporting contractual framework, a collaborative working environment, and is executed using Lean processes and principles. Shortchanging any of these elements undermines project success, yet some projects ignore the first two elements because they are “too hard.” Drawing on the Hanson Bridgett team’s over 100 IPD projects, noted IPD expert and attorney Howard Ashcraft discusses how to build a project specific Lean IPD business model and then reinforce it with the right contract model. He will discuss why traditional models limit performance and describe the key features in Lean IPD that overcome these drawbacks. In addition, he will walk through the process of creating a Lean IPD project from initial values development through contract execution. This process necessarily considers alternative business models, management structures, risk sharing, insurance and similar considerations. Done correctly, this process not only creates a strong IPD agreement, it sets up the team for successful Lean execution of the project.
LEARNING OBJECTIVES

CHARLES ROUNTREE, JACOBS ENGINEERING“The principles and practices of lean project delivery can be difficult for successful managers to accept. As in manufacturing, the shift to lean in project settings calls for a deep change in perspective, understanding and practice: a paradigm change. Most efforts to implement lean construction begin with pilot or laboratory projects designed to put teams in action using various lean construction oriented tools. This process-centered approach, while successful in the short term, is difficult to extend or sustain as participants do not yet understand the extent and nature of the change necessary or the opportunities it offers. Too often, early gains are lost as teams using lean approaches layered on or attached to traditional practices drift back to their old ways.” This Lean event will use a Study Action Team (SAT)[1] format to help further establish the LCI Colorado Community-of-Practice (CoP) in understanding the importance of creating a “shared mind”[2] in order to become a continuous learning/improving/practicing community. Unlike some of our CoP events in which the participant mainly listens to and learns about lean/continuous improvement from a speaker/presenter, this event will be guided by a facilitator. Our facilitator will ask participants to share where their lean journey is and where they want it to go. Our facilitator is asking the participant to choose to do three (3) things, prior to the event:
We want this conversation to further help our local lean practitioners understand what a shared mind is; why a shared mind matters; and how a SAT can help create a shared mind.

He has a strong passion for spreading the technical aspects of LEAN amongst Jacobs Engineering (a Company that is implementing continuous improvement sustainable practices with each and every client) and our local community, as well as the social soft skill aspects. As an Owner’s Representative, he is relationship focused and tries to demonstrate it through each interaction, always reaching for continuous improvement.
