It will enrich the experience for all participants.

Call it Kaizen, continuous improvement, or operational excellence, we all want to be better and better at what we do. That may be with our crews in the field, how we execute projects, our design teams, or the everyday processes we use to operate our organization. In this webinar you will learn:

• What is “kaizen” and how it is different from “innovation”
• Why process-oriented thinking, central to all lean thinking, is critical to continuous improvement
• How to generate and capture ideas for improvement
• How to turn those ideas in to standard processes that can benefit your projects and your organization
• Why a focus on people delivers better results than a focus on results
• What is Value Stream Mapping and simple ways to start mapping now
• How to turn “lessons learned” in to “improved processes”

What you learn can be put to use right away. While becoming a continuously improving organization takes time, with every step you, your teams, and your organization will benefit.

Design professionals want to know how they can improve client outcomes while maximizing design excellence. Participants in the Lean in the Design Phase webinar will gain insight to Lean approaches and tools relative to the design phase of project delivery.  They will understand how Lean supports optimizing team communication, collaboration and results by connecting people, principles, and practices. Participants will be exposed to how Lean processes such as Target Value Delivery, set-based design, and the Last Planner System® in Design can be applied.

Learning Objectives:

• Gain overview understanding of Lean as relative to the design phase.
• Learn how Lean tools and processes eliminate waste and support higher productivity.
• Learn how the Lean Operating System enables design solutions that respond to the Owner’s values.
• Learn how teams organize, operate in a collaborative setting and communicate resulting in more effective project delivery.

Discover the presentations that mean the most to your Lean journey with five tracks built around the overarching theme of The ABCs of Lean: Transformation through Actions, Best Practices and Coaching:

• Transforming Behavior & Culture
  Lean isn’t just about tools and processes, but rather effective ways to approach challenges. New thinking leads to Lean behaviors and creates a culture of continuous improvement and respect for others. This track will explore how coaching can drive sustained behavioral change and the techniques and best practices that have demonstrated positive results.
• Transforming Preconstruction & Design
  Architects, engineers and trade partners face unique challenges when asked to collaborate during pre-construction. This track will investigate the challenges have been addressed by applying Lean throughout the project planning and design phases to maximize value and reduce waste.
• Transforming Procurement & Production
  As speed to market demand continues to drive pressure for quicker turnover of projects, more effective procurement, and transformational supply chain management is needed. This track will cover the actions, best practices and coaching methods that are being used to explore and solve delivery challenges and increase productivity through Lean design and construction.
• Transforming Construction Support & Planning
  Construction support and planning tools create better information flow and transparency. Together, we will discuss how utilizing tools such as visual communication, project onboarding processes, the Last Planner System ®, etc. have transformed projects and outline what obstacles these tools have helped resolve. Attendees will share how they have coached or have been coached to leverage construction support and planning tools to achieve Lean transformation.
• Transforming Field Execution & Safety
  Optimizing field efficiency and effectiveness through safe practices should be the number one goal of all Lean organizations. This track will cover the actions, best practices, or coaching techniques have been implemented to transform the field or safety on various projects.
