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. Registration is required.
Light breakfast items and drinks will be provided –
Park west of the Samis Education Center located on the west side (Main entrance) of Children’s Hospital and take the 1st right into the gated parking area (GATE CODE 1015) (Just before the covered valet parking, FREE VALET parking is also available)

Introduction to Last Planner®
with Villego® Simulation
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 (LPS™) 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 LCI education course.
Key Learning Objectives:
With the addition of the Villego simulation, attendees will gain further learning though:
·Milestone Planning
·Pull Planning
·Weekly Work Plans
·Daily Huddles
·LP®S in Design

The Oklahoma Heart Hospital Gemba Walk
The Oklahoma Heart Hospital Project Gemba Walk will focus on one of the key concepts of Lean management, Flow. Gemba, going to the place where value is created is the act of observing a project’s moving parts from administrative tasks to specific construction processes to look for opportunities to eliminate waste and improve quality. The tour will start with an overview of the Gemba process, followed by putting Gemba into practice with a project tour. McCarthy and trade partners are working on the 6-story, $125M addition to Oklahoma Heart Hospital’s South Campus. See how the project is piloting the Simple Interior Production Schedule (SIPS) to create predictable flow, project alignment and trust.
Attendees from cross functional roles as designers, constructors, owners, trade partners and associations are welcome to participate. No previous Lean experience is required.

Scrum for Design and Construction
Exponential team velocity improvements await. Scrum harnesses the power individuals working together in one direction, a team with a shared purpose. The method often more than doubles productivity with less effort and invigorates engagement. This course is geared to individuals and teams with no, some, or seasoned experience with the Scrum framework. Workshop resources will be provided to guide scaling up to fully functional Scrum teams in your organization. Scrum continues to be adopted in the construction industry worldwide. Are you ready to make your work easier and become more valuable for your organization?
Jeff Sutherland 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.

Humble Inquiry by David Verble
Are you interested in exploring a more effective way to lead? Want to switch from being the person out front leading the charge to someone who uses knowledge and experience to coach employees when needed? This workshop introduces Humble Inquiry, a specific way of asking questions, to lead others through problem solving and implementing improvements – without taking over the problem solving thinking. You will learn to develop employees to be self-sufficient problem solvers.
As a participant, you will:
* Learn how displaying humility helps you become a more effective leader.
* Recognize the role of Plan-Do-Check-Adjust (PDCA) problem solving in implementing continuous improvement.
* Understand that with this developmental approach, you do not have to be an expert to coach problem-solving thinking.
* Practice Humble Inquiry: open-ended questioning, attentive listening, recognizing sound problem solving thinking.
* Practice Coaching for Development:
* Give responsibility and ownership, not just tasks
* Prompt awareness as others investigate, think and experiment
* Force reflection and learning
* Assess your effectiveness as a leader, and set goals to improve.

Choosing By Advantages: Sound Decisionmaking
(a two-day event)
This 2-day educational event will provide attendees in-depth training on how to utilize Choosing by Advantages Sound Decisionmaking System (CBA). John Koga is a Certified Value Specialist and Registered Architect, who also has significant experience as a building contractor. In 2018 John retired as VP, Performance and Innovation Resources at The Boldt Company, but is selectively continuing some work in this field.
From your instructor, John Koga:
I believe that “Decisions must be based on the importance of advantages.”
This fundamental rule was discovered in 1981 by a man named Jim Suhr. By working with this rule he developed The Choosing By Advantages Sound Decisionmaking System (CBA). It was extensively tested with others. His book was published in 1999. I met Jim soon after and have become an approved trainer. I also believe that:
• Decisionmakers must learn and skillfully use sound methods.
• Decisions must be anchored to relevant facts.
• Different types of decisions call for different sound methods.
• Money decisions call for special methods and these methods are context-sensitive.
CBA is unified by specific definitions, principles, models and methods. The definitions enable explaining the principles. The models help explain the principles. The methods apply the principles. I am unaware of any decisionmaking system as sound. It encourages the use of correct data in a correct way. It avoids critical mistakes such as distortions and weighing of factors. It helps prevent omissions and double-counting.
Use of Choosing By Advantages will simplify simple decisions by taking fewer steps and simplify complex decisions by taking smaller steps. It will simplify all decisions by correctly using correct data.
An advantage is a difference between two attributes. Seeing the difference from the viewpoint of the alternative that considers it beneficial makes the difference an advantage. Seeing it from the viewpoint of the other alternative makes it a disadvantage. Counting it for both alternatives would be a critical mistake. CBA enables consideration of the importance of all the differences by working with them as advantages.
If you have ever been asked a question similar to either of these, “Which is more important, color or temperature?” or “Is your priority comfort or access?” then you have been asked an unanchored
question that cannot be answered and should not be asked. Factor words such as color, temperature, comfort and access are highly abstract and contain many aspects. As such, they cannot be judged. For example, we must know the context, the criteria and specific attributes. We must move the argument to a level that enables a soundly anchored comparison. A CBA method with its questions and rules will help avoid mistakes and assist in providing a correct and clear decision scenario.
When teaching CBA, I often begin by teaching its very simple methods which are used for most decisions. Then methods for sound consideration of issues such as budget allocation can be learned.
John Koga is experienced in project design and construction management in major markets across North America. He is passionate about improving project solutions, process flow and decisionmaking to increase value delivered. John is an approved instructor of Choosing by Advantages Sound Decisionmaking and introduced its use in Lean Construction. He developed “CBA Training for Project Teams.” John is a registered architect and 1974 graduate of the University of Illinois.

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. Registration is required.
Light breakfast items and drinks will be provided
Free valet parking is available. Conference room is located on the 3rd Floor of the Samis Education Center.

This 2-day educational event will provide attendees in-depth training on how to utilize Choosing by Advantages Sound Decisionmaking System (CBA). John Koga is a Certified Value Specialist and Registered Architect, who also has significant experience as a building contractor. In 2018 John retired as VP, Performance and Innovation Resources at The Boldt Company, but is selectively continuing some work in this field.
From your instructor, John Koga:
I believe that “Decisions must be based on the importance of advantages.”
This fundamental rule was discovered in 1981 by a man named Jim Suhr. By working with this rule he developed The Choosing By Advantages Sound Decisionmaking System (CBA). It was extensively tested with others. His book was published in 1999. I met Jim soon after and have become an approved trainer. I also believe that:
• Decisionmakers must learn and skillfully use sound methods.
• Decisions must be anchored to relevant facts.
• Different types of decisions call for different sound methods.
• Money decisions call for special methods and these methods are context-sensitive.
CBA is unified by specific definitions, principles, models and methods. The definitions enable explaining the principles. The models help explain the principles. The methods apply the principles. I am unaware of any decisionmaking system as sound. It encourages the use of correct data in a correct way. It avoids critical mistakes such as distortions and weighing of factors. It helps prevent omissions and double-counting.
Use of Choosing By Advantages will simplify simple decisions by taking fewer steps and simplify complex decisions by taking smaller steps. It will simplify all decisions by correctly using correct data.
An advantage is a difference between two attributes. Seeing the difference from the viewpoint of the alternative that considers it beneficial makes the difference an advantage. Seeing it from the viewpoint of the other alternative makes it a disadvantage. Counting it for both alternatives would be a critical mistake. CBA enables consideration of the importance of all the differences by working with them as advantages.

For example, we must know the context, the criteria and specific attributes. We must move the argument to a level that enables a soundly anchored comparison.
