Welcome to the homepage of the Los Angeles / Orange County Community of Practice. Our effort is focused on educating, training, and advancing Lean knowledge for the engineering, designing and construction of projects within southern California. We stress the importance of collaboration and integrated project delivery (with or without a contractual obligation) as well as fostering trust on project sites or within an office environment.
We host several events annually and actively search for joint event opportunities at which we can reach more members of the design and construction community. Over the past couple of years, we have averaged around 50 attendees at our events which creates an energetic and engaging learning environment. At the beginning of each event, we routinely encourage all attendees to ask questions and share their knowledge regardless of whether competitors may be in the room. All of us want to improve. . . all of us want to learn. . . all of us want to advance the industry.
Our diverse group of dedicated Core Group members include:

Join us for a Lean Coffee to learn and support each other in our Lean endeavors!

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.

This Scrum for individuals workshop is a highly interactive hands-on use of stickies and markers – the preferred tools of lean practitioners world-wide. This conversational workshop uses Scrum to teach Scrum. Exponential individual productivity improvements await. Scrum harnesses the power of individual creativity. The method often more than doubles productivity. The topics are geared to individuals that are brand new to Scrum and for those looking to boost their velocity.
Jeff Sutherland, co-creator of Scrum, is a true pioneer advancing lean thinking across multiple industries. The Scrum method borrows from the best of martial arts, judicial decision-making, advanced aerial combat, robotics, and many other disciplines. Scrum has been used to prove what others considered unachievable – inventing a trailblazing technology, devising a new system of education, pioneering a way to feed the hungry, or building a foundation for your family to thrive.
Attendees will be using Scrum immediately before the workshop ends to boost tomorrow’s productivity and individual creativity with a lightweight continuous improvement method.

Rebuilding Trust & Collaboration – Lessons Learned of a Project’s Community of Practice
Wednesday, February 8, 2017
4:30 pm to 7:00 pm
The team on UHS Corona acknowledged a major breakdown in the delivery of its ILPD. Reliability was down. Trust had eroded and the overall attitude was not positive. The team began to disengage from the project and fell away from their Conditions of Satisfaction. However, the motivation was they didn’t want to fail their customer or their team as a result of a poor culture. The Big Idea came when they committed to developing a jobsite Community of Practice (CoP) in the effort to implement learning, training, and development of a Lean team.
