There are many reasons you might be interested in embarking on a lean journey. Your customers are demanding it. You want to save time, money and resources. You believe in the lean philosophy of continuous improvement and waste reduction. You believe that your firm can aspire to and sustain excellence and that it is the right thing to do. Whether your journey is personal, with a project team or within your organization, SWORD’s knowledgeable sensei can help you build your plan and start you on your Lean journey. The foundation of our services lies in the SWORD Lean Roadmap where there are several stops along the way. Depending upon your desired results we may visit all locations or focus on one or two.

Working with over 120 lean project teams has taught us what works in real life. That means our training is hands-on, leverages the collective wisdom of the group, and leads directly to actions you can begin taking the same day. As you stand up, we stand down.

We believe every team and every project has the potential to be great: to be a collaborative team that finishes early, on or below budget with high quality. A team that delivers on its value proposition to the owner.

Our passion lies in helping you and your team recognize and achieve that greatness.

Unified Works provides the time earned expertise needed to lead and coach construction teams, not just textbook knowledge but decades “in the trenches” of construction–where 90% of the investment lies. We train and coach superintendents, foremen, project engineers, and other job leaders how to “pull” work to harness team power, and show upstream players how to release information and predecessor work in ways that keep all work free of bottlenecks. How can we prove it? We’ve got lots of testimonials, and we believe they’re pretty convincing. But if you want a first-person sense of us, just give us call, once you spend 10 minutes talking with Rich, you’ll know exactly who he is, where he comes from, and how he conducts business. And by listening to what you tell him, he’ll tell you exactly what he can do for your operation.
