Design Community – your involvement in the beginning of the project planning process is crucial to saving the team from delivering projects late and with less value. This is also where Lean in design can help! Lean methodologies are helping design and construction companies in the U.S. and around the world become more efficient while increasing client satisfaction, cutting costs and eliminating re-work.
The 2018 Lean in Design Forum will address common struggles LCI members encounter such as:
The annual 2018 LCI/P2SL/AIA Lean in Design Forum is the event where designers come together to learn about and advance Lean methodologies. Industry-leading design practitioners will present on how Lean techniques free up time for creative decision-making and innovative problem-solving on current topics affecting the design community.
2018 Lean in Design Forum attendees will find immense value in:

Get hands-on Last Planner experience with Villego! The Last Planner System will help you build safer, faster, better, cheaper and more predictably in comparison to current/traditional ways of project management. Those who already use Last Planner know that to make LPS really work, its important for all involved to understand how and why it works. Learning LPS on the job is the most effective way to learn, but it takes time. With people new to LPS, the challenge is to build that understanding quickly and thoroughly. Speed up the learning curve by starting off using Villego. Visit www.villego.com for more information.
Attendees from cross functional roles as designers, constructors, owners, trade partners and associations are welcome to participate. No previous Lean experience is required.

A Lean Coffee
Wednesday, October 11, 2017
7:00 AM to 8:30 AM
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.

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.

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
Join us for a tour of the first modular hotel construction project in Oklahoma City.
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.
