8/4 – Lean Coffee
9/1 – Lean Coffee
10/6 – Lean Coffee
11/3 – Lean Coffee
12/1 – Lean Coffee
Join us for a virtual 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.
This is going to be an interactive virtual session and joining from your mobile device may be frustrating. For that reason, we are only allowing attendees to join from your computer. We also ask that everyone #turnyourcameraon! It will enrich the experience for all participants.
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.
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 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:
Join us for a 60-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 so we are capping attendance at 50! As well, joining from your mobile device may be frustrating. For that reason, we are only allowing attendees to join from your computer. We also ask that everyone #turnyourcameraon and come ready to actively participate! It will enrich the experience for all participants.
Construction teams looking to improve the value being produced by workers and to create safer working environments conduct Gemba Walks. In the Gemba Walks For Construction course, participants will gain insight to the what, why and how to successfully implement this method to support their projects. This course is important to developing a positive continuous improvement mindset on your projects.
Learning Objectives:
1. Gain an understanding of the definitions of Gemba and Gemba Walks: “The What.”
2. Identify the purpose and roles related to conducting a Gemba Walk: “The Why.”
3. Discover the process of conducting a Gemba Walk including key guiding questions: “The How.”
4. Gain insight through real-project examples of Gemba Walks and the resulting improvements.

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.

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.

* leverage your responsibility as a change agent to improve cooperation
* create and draw on your social capital within the organization
* acknowledge resistance and explore it to inform you of favorable elements of the situation
* use open inquiry and listening with awareness to create shared responsibility and common concern
* give others time to explore requests without pressure to agree immediately
* use personal influence skills to be seen as collaborative, not demanding or coercive
This session is based on the latest social neuro-science research and influence techniques. Who should attend: Managers and leaders who want to learn a less directive approach to supporting and coaching their employees.

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

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.

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.

Business Case for Lean
Date: Thursday, September 7, 2017
Time: 4:30 PM to 6:30 PM
Location: INTEGRIS Cancer Institute (Proton Campus)
5911 W. Memorial Road
Oklahoma City, OK 73142
This presentation will be delivered via live webinar and moderated onsite by the CoP Core Group
Traditionally we have relied on anecdotal evidence to suggest how Lean project teams typically deliver better project outcomes. Empirical evidence now shows that projects with high Lean intensity are three times more likely to complete ahead of schedule and two times more likely to complete under budget. How and why Lean and IPD projects are excelling were explored through two separate Lean Construction Institute research efforts conducted by Dodge Data & Analytics and University of Minnesota.
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, Intel’s former VP of Technology and Manufacturing, recently oversaw domestic and international projects as Intel’s Global Construction Group General Manager. John also led the technology transfer and ramp of new products. During his last three years with Intel, Pemberton was on Lean Construction Institute’s board representing corporations concerned about the construction industry’s current state. After 34 years with Intel, he is retired and now a sought-out champion for Lean and collaborative delivery approaches.

A Lean Coffee
Tuesday, August 22, 2017
7:00 AM to 8:30 AM
Flintco CSC Training Room
2020 S. Union
Tulsa, OK 74107
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.
Carr Healthcare Realty will provide light breakfast options, and coffee and juice will be available.

AC Hotel Project Tour (Gemba Walk)
Date: Friday, January 6, 2017
Time: 11:00 AM to 12:00 PM CST
Location: AC Hotel
80 N. Russell M. Perry Avenue
Oklahoma City, OK 73104
The AC Hotel Bricktown is the first of Marriott’s AC flag in Oklahoma. This hotel is 129 units in five stories of wood-frame construction designed for the upbeat, European vibe exemplified by the AC experience, while honoring the traditional Bricktown aesthetic.
Each floor is approximately 19,500 square feet. Floors 2 through 5 have hotel guest rooms and related support spaces. The first floor has amenities such as a bar, breakfast bar/dining, fitness and meeting rooms.
Primary exterior materials are brick, aluminum glazing systems and composite metal panels.
The five stories are scheduled to top off in less than two weeks. Construction is expected to be complete in the second quarter of 2017.
“Gemba Walk” Gemba, as defined by the Lean Construction Institute, is the Japanese term for “where value is added or where the work takes place.” Lean experts encourage “going to the gemba” to see how things are really done and where there is opportunity to eliminate or reduce waste. The goal is to gain awareness of how work is performed at every stage of the process and to make improvements as well as standardizations through collaboration and first-hand perspectives.
“Everyone involved in a project can benefit from going to the work, from owner representatives, project design leaders, project managers and leadership, to cross trades and less experienced practitioners.”
– Transforming Design and Construction: A Framework for Change, page 194
Registration deadline is January 4, 2017. Capacity is limited, register early!
Tour meeting place is the Newcrest Image job trailer. Please arrive 10 Minutes early so we can get everyone signed in. We will provide needed PPE. Due to safety concerns proper foot ware is required, no open-toe shoes or heels please.
