Rocks-In-The-Road, An A3 Thinking Experience
Identifying successes and areas for improvement is imperative for a team to continuously improve and perform at the highest level. A group oriented, A3-structured process called “Rocks in the Road” can be the framework for this. The process helps groups of any size to identify past successes that can be leveraged, potential obstacles to continued success, identify root cause analysis, and develop an action and follow-up plan. This process can be implemented by design groups, jobsite groups, multi-disciplinary teams, individual organizations, or communities of practice.
The Rocks in the Road structure is a step-by-step process that has proven to be a more widely accepted and user-friendly way of executing an A3 to solve problems. For a Children’s Hospital Colorado IPD project during the transition from the design to construction phase of the project the process was used with a group of owners, designers, and constructors to proactively identify potential obstacles to continued success. During this session, it was determined the three biggest obstacles were non-MPA buy-in, team communication, and scheduling/planning/workflow. The team then developed a fishbone diagram to understand the root causes and action plan for each obstacle to help improve the team’s behaviors and, ultimately, the project. For another recent Children’s Hospital project the Rocks in the Road process was used successfully to solve an ongoing problem of poor communications between the various disciplines. As a result, a “Better Conversations Everyday” workshop was planned and executed with very favorable outcomes!

Intern and Recent Graduate Lean Learning
This event is open to interns and recent graduates who want to explore what lean is and how it is being applied in the AEC industry.
This will be a facilitated discussion-oriented event focused on Lean Project Delivery. This topic introduces Lean Project Delivery as relevant to the design and construction industry, compares conventional delivery with Lean delivery outcomes, and describes the goals and benefits of Lean. The event is more structured than a Lean Coffee yet shorter and less structured than an LCI education course. Its purpose is to provide just enough knowledge base to kick start and engaging Lean discussion amongst the participants.

A Lean Coffee
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.

The Business Case for Lean
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.
The program will be located in the basement classroom of the AGC of Colorado. The agenda is below:
7:30 – 8:00 Networking
8:00 – 9:00 Presentation
9:00 – 9:30 Q&A

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:

Part I of our SAT on “The Ideal Team Player” by Patrick Lencioni (held on April 13th) was a great success! As a result, we decided to meet again on Thursday, April 26th to discuss the second section of “The Ideal Team Player” titled “The Model”. Please join us! It isn’t necessary for you to have attended the first part of this SAT to be able to join what promises to be a great discussion on April 26th!!!
An SAT is a lean tool which encourages a deep dive conversation with a smaller group around a lean reading to inspire continuous learning and connection with the fellow participants. According to Kristin Hill, Christine Slivon and John Draper in their article “Another Approach to Transforming Project Delivery: Creating a Shared Mind”, an SAT can help to develop “a shared vision needed to bring about transformation and sustained change.”

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.

Date: Friday, May 20, 2016 Time: 7:30 am to 3:00 pm
Location: Hilton Garden
Parking available at Hotel, continental breakfast and lunch provided | |
| 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.

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.
