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.

Registration is free – Please Register

Coffee and light breakfast will be provided

Parking – Metered on-street parking available or parking in the garage at 700 State Street

Pop-Up DoJo – Developing Lean Leadership at Your Workplace

Dojo is a global cultural shift towards Lean leadership at all organizational levels. It is a practice-based mindful development of yourself, your relationships with your peers, colleagues, and clients. Learn lean leadership skills necessary to improve the success of Lean initiatives, while avoiding the constant fighting of the urgent fires of the day.

Objectives:

• Use your Pocket Sensei books (provided)
•  Establish your own Dojo’s
•  Practice together where you work
•  Develop your community ‘s Lean mindsets and behaviors
•  Build a support system that you need to develop your Lean Leadership

Hal Macomber did his first production system project in 1974 followed by a two-year stint w/ Bank of Boston in operations research. Studying quality and just-in-time production in Japan in the mid-1980’s began the formal intro to Lean. Along the way, Hal was introduced to the work of Fernando Flores — first the study of the language-action perspective, then ontological redesign. This knowledge coupled to Lean allowed him and his collaborators to make very large scale organizational interventions.
