Welcome to the LCI Northern California Community of Practice. Our community serves Lean practitioners from the Bay Area to the Central Valley. Currently we hold two separate events per month, one in the Bay Area in Oakland, and a Central Valley event in Sacramento. Every third month we hold a single joint event at a more neutral location in Walnut Creek. We take the month of July off so that members of our CoP can enjoy some summer vacation time with family.
As you know, the design and construction industry is transforming into a more collaborative culture through the application of Lean principles and integration project teams. Our goal is to create an environment where owners, architects, designers, contractors, trade partners, suppliers, academics and industry organizations can all come together to share, learn, and explore Lean principles and processes with a common goal of improving our industry and delivering value to our Owners and community.
Each December and March our Core Group meets to outline our monthly event topics that is inspired by LCI’s vision to transform the Built Environment through Lean Implementation and to ultimately increase stakeholder satisfaction and maximize project delivery value.
For any membership questions, or for general questions and/or comments, please contact Angela Bowman (Leader) at Angela.Bowman@boldt.com. If you have a topic that you would like to present, or for sponsorship opportunities, please contact Dan Goodman (Vice/Events Leader) at daniel.goodman2@ucsf.edu.

Course Overview: Gain an understanding of Target Value Delivery (TVD) by learning the different phases and components that make up the delivery approach. Learn how the Lean components interact together to improve the process and outcome of the project. Enhance learning with a project simulation throughout the course. This course is a more advanced course. Learners should consider taking other LCI courses to gain foundational Lean understanding prior to taking this course.

High-performing teams function on collaborative brain power to rapidly advance work and add value by operating in a Big Room setting. Effective Big Rooms are only possible with the mindset and behaviors that break down the traditional silos to allow for cross-functional team collaboration and decision-making. Through the Effective Big Room webinar, you will gain a foundational understanding of the concept of a Big Room by learning the benefits, purpose, and implementation considerations. This webinar will lead you to understanding how to improve collaboration and drive transparency within your team to optimize project outcomes.
Learning Objectives:
Join us for a 90-minute virtual CoP experience to engage deeply with independent Lean Coaches in a collaborative discussion.
Come with your most vexing Lean implementation or project problems and get expert advice. We will utilize breakouts to discuss topics in small groups, each led by a coach.
The Zoom link for attendance will be included with your registration confirmation email.
This is going to be a fun and interactive session and we will be capping registration at 70 in order to keep the groups small! As well, joining from your mobile device may be frustrating.

 LCI Northern California Community of Practice Lean Happy Hour A Structured but Agenda-Less Conversation About Your Lean Journey Date: Wednesday, February 10, 2016 Time: 5:00PM to 7:00PM Location: AIA Sacramento Office
Join us for a Lean Happy Hour 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. Based on our conversation with you, you’ll help us provide more relevant topics for our monthly presentations. 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. ________________________ Speakers: Dennis Stroup – HGA Architects Erik Winje – Clark Pacific Members: $55.00 REGISTER HERE | |

WE HAVE TWO PRODUCTION FACILITIES IN NORTHERN CALIFORNIA (WEST SACRAMENTO AND WOODLAND), AND TWO PRODUCTION FACILITIES IN SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA (FONTANA AND IRWINDALE).THE GOAL OF THE KAIZEN EVENT IS TO IMPROVE SAFETY, QUALITY, AND PRODUCTIVITY BY DEVELOPING STANDARD OPERATIONS FOR THE STRIPPING, SET UP, REINFORCING, AND PLACING OF PRECAST SYSTEMS. THE CHANGE WE ARE LOOKING TO BRING ABOUT WAS TO GO FROM A TEAM WHO CONSTANTLY HAD TO LOOK TO THEIR SUPERVISOR FOR WHAT TO DO NEXT TO A TEAM WHERE EACH EMPLOYEE KNEW EXACTLY WHAT THEIR ROLE WAS IN COMPLETING ALL THE WORK. KAIZEN EVENTS CAN INTRODUCE DRAMATIC CHANGE TO A PROCESS WITH THE POTENTIAL FOR GREAT RESULTS. HOWEVER, THE POWER OF KAIZEN MUST BE APPLIED WITH THE CULTURE OF THE ORGANIZATION IN MIND. IN THIS PRESENTATION WE WILL LEARN HOW MANAGING THE PREPARATION FOR A KAIZEN CAN GO VERY WELL, OR VERY BADLY. WE ARE USING A NEW FORMAT FOR THE LOCAL COMMUNITY OF PRACTICE MEETINGS IN 2015.

LCI NorCal presents: LESSONS OF A FAILED KAIZEN EVENTDate: Wednesday, November 12, 2014 Time: 6:00 PM to 9:00 PM Location: The Clubhouse at Rancho Solano | |
GARRETT BRADFORD – CLARK PACIFICCLARK PACIFIC, FOUNDED IN 1963 AS TECON PACIFIC, IS A LEADER IN THE DESIGN, MANUFACTURE, AND INSTALLATION OF STATE-OF-THE-ART STRUCTURAL AND ARCHITECTURAL PRECAST BUILDING SYSTEMS. WE ARE A TRUSTED PARTNER IN DESIGN-BUILD TURNKEY STRUCTURAL SOLUTIONS. WE FOCUS ON A PRECONSTRUCTION PARTNERING PROCESS THAT HELPS OUR CLIENTS ACHIEVE SHORTER PROJECT SCHEDULES, REDUCED PROJECT COSTS, AND BEST VALUE DESIGNS. WE HAVE TWO PRODUCTION FACILITIES IN NORTHERN CALIFORNIA (WEST SACRAMENTO AND WOODLAND), AND TWO PRODUCTION FACILITIES IN SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA (FONTANA AND IRWINDALE).THE GOAL OF THE KAIZEN EVENT IS TO IMPROVE SAFETY, QUALITY, AND PRODUCTIVITY BY DEVELOPING STANDARD OPERATIONS FOR THE STRIPPING, SET UP, REINFORCING, AND PLACING OF PRECAST SYSTEMS. THE CHANGE WE ARE LOOKING TO BRING ABOUT WAS TO GO FROM A TEAM WHO CONSTANTLY HAD TO LOOK TO THEIR SUPERVISOR FOR WHAT TO DO NEXT TO A TEAM WHERE EACH EMPLOYEE KNEW EXACTLY WHAT THEIR ROLE WAS IN COMPLETING ALL THE WORK. KAIZEN EVENTS CAN INTRODUCE DRAMATIC CHANGE TO A PROCESS WITH THE POTENTIAL FOR GREAT RESULTS. HOWEVER, THE POWER OF KAIZEN MUST BE APPLIED WITH THE CULTURE OF THE ORGANIZATION IN MIND. IN THIS PRESENTATION WE WILL LEARN HOW MANAGING THE PREPARATION FOR A KAIZEN CAN GO VERY WELL, OR VERY BADLY Lessons of a Failed Kaizen Event will help any Lean practitioner avoid the pitfalls of change in an organization. It will outline the steps necessary for assuring alignment between management and a project team through real examples of failure (which is the 1st step to success).

Integrated Process for Document Quality Assurance Date: Thursday, July 17, 2014 Time: 5:00 PM – 8:00 PM Location: Holiday Inn – Capitol Plaza | ||
DENIS J. STROUP, LIONAKIS
In most cases, design teams have good internal quality and coordination process for their own disciplines. At determined design iterations, SD, DD, CD, etc., they are typically sent to one party where a single individual reviews and “throws the comments back over the fence.” Denis J. Stroup of Lionakis will offer a more collaborative and integrated method for design document quality assurance. This course will provide an overview of a more integrated Quality Assurance/Quality Control than the traditional method. Teams will learn to appraise the internal quality and coordination process for their own disciplines, and analyze the common practice of determined design iterations – schematic design, detailed design, etc. – wherein a single party or individual reviews and valuable input/feedback is lost.
