Lean Learning Series
Join us for the first of 6 Lean Learning Series, “What is Lean?”. 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. Participants will learn the key principles that are foundational to Lean such as the LCI 6 Tenets of Lean in detail.
The learning series is a structured discussion 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.

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.
Attendance is free of charge. Please pre-register.

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.

A Business Case for Lean –
KCAHE/LCI Combined Event
Tuesday, April 11, 2017
11:00 AM to 1:00 PM
Kansas City, MO 64116
•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.
John Pemberton is recently retired VP/GM of Intel’s global construction and LCI board member from 2014-2016. He has many practical examples to share from implementing lean and collaborative contracting approaches from around the globe and around the US. Intel’s former VP of Technology and Manufacturing, he recently oversaw domestic and international projects as Intel’s Global Construction Group General Manager.

A Lean Coffee
Wednesday, February 15, 2017
7:30 AM to 9:00 AM
CRB
1251 NW Briarcliff Parkway, Suite 500
Kansas City, MO 64116
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.

Lean Coffees were created by Jim Benson and Jeremy Lightsmith as a melding of Open Space Technology (OST) and Personal Kanban (PK). OST is a process for having a group democratically develop an agenda for conversations and then managing that agenda. Kanban is used to visually manage the conversation. Lean Coffee is a free space for people to explore issues and concerns that they otherwise don’t get to discuss.
