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 Congress Preview

Join us for a preview of the following Lean Congress Presentations. These teams were selected to present at the LCI Congress this October, and will be practicing their presentations and sharing their experience with us!

Presentation 1: Karpinski / Lean Project Consulting / Bostwick
If you want to overcome design and planning challenges, first look at project culture. Project culture influences people’s actions and engagement, which in turn contributes to success or failure. A poor project culture leads to waste related to people and actions. It happens in the gray area, during side bar conversations, lack of clarity when team members say they understand, when they miss reliable promises. These are breakdowns in the process of planning during design. In other words, implementing Lean tools is not enough. Without a positive, respectful, and collaborative culture, your Lean journey will fail.

Presentation 2: Lighthouse Electric
Getting information to the field is like sending printed pictures to Grandma! If you’re Information is Inaccessible, Unfiltered, Duplicated, Slow, or flat our Expired, then this presentation may be for you! Our company is actively pursuing solving these problems through a combination of Lean and Digital Transformation. Our aim is to share our mistakes, failures and successes trying to; upgrade Technology, Change Culture while obtaining buy-in, streamline the value stream and implement Paperless workflows. This information revolution has been a catalyst to some profound changes in our organization. Our journey started with transforming our paperless preconstruction workflow, through the use of BlueBeam, Autodesk, Revit and PlanGrid. This process showed the need for further innovation around Databasing, Education, Minimum Technology Competencies and Enterprise wide Training. As such we have begun to implement a complete SaaS Strategy around Rapid Application Development (RAD) which has integrated the correct information to the right people instantaneously throughout every single department.

LCI Course: Mindset of an Effective Big Room

High performing teams function on collaborative brain power to rapidly advance work and add value by driving down overall project costs in a Big Room setting. Effective Big Rooms are only possible with the right kind of mindset and behaviors that break down the traditional silos to allow for cross-functional team collaboration and decision-making. LCI’s Mindset of an Effective Big Room education course creates a simulated Big Room experience encouraging you to create, manage, and lead your own detailed Big Room concept and implementation plan tailored to your project’s specific needs whether you have had previous experience or not. Small groups will discuss onboarding new members, technology, and real world challenges to Big Room implementation and report back to the large group to share and create a list of standards and better practices.

Learning Objectives:

• Immerse yourself in a Big Room atmosphere
• Tightly couple learning with action
• “Pull” the learning needed from facilitators and participants
• Develop your own detailed Big Room concept and implementation plan
• Learn how to organize and manage a Big Room tailored to your specific project needs
• Collaboratively develop a list of standards and better practices.

Target Value Delivery 

Staying within the allowable budget and ensuring the team’s innovation decreases waste and increases value to the customer are attributes of successful project delivery and can be achieved through Target Value Delivery (TVD). TVD is a disciplined management practice with several phases (Business Case Planning, Validation, Value Delivery and Value Post Construction) meant to be applied holistically to obtain maximum value. The phases of TVD can be supplemented by core components like team organization, Big Room, project planning, cost modeling, continuous estimating and conceptual design. Start your journey towards mastering each of the TVD phases and all of the core components through simulation, group discussion and step-by-step guidance in the 8-hour Target Value Delivery education course to align your project deliverables with customer-defined value.

Learning Objectives:

• Describe attributes of a team culture required to support TVD
• Understand how to align project deliverables with customer-defined value 
• Define the major phases in the TVD process and how they relate
• Gain first-hand experience with the types of challenges and decisions which typically arise in TVD

• 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 former Vice President of Technology and Manufacturing for Intel Corporation.  Most recently, he was the General Manager of Intel’s Global Construction Group where he oversaw domestic and international projects.  John also was a factory and plant manager for many years, where he was responsible for the technology transfer and ramp of all of Intel’s new products.  During his last three years with Intel Mr. Pemberton served 3 years as a national board member for the Lean Construction Institute representing the voice of corporations concerned about the current state of the construction industry.  Since his recent retirement after 34 years with Intel, he is now a sought out champion and mentor for Lean and collaborative delivery approaches.
