8:30 am - What is Target Value Delivery (TVD)?

Presentation Team: Stan Chiu, HDR | James Pease, UCSF

Target Value Design steers design to a target project cost with rapid feedback and a focus on value. There are also a lot of misconceptions, and it can often devolve into the same Value Engineering (VE) cycle project teams try to avoid. This presentation would help clarify what TVD is and what TVD is not.

9:15 am - Living Big - Lessons and Life in a Successful Big Room

Presentation Team: Diane Anglin, Carta Advisors | Brad White, Gensler | Stan Chiu, HDR | Jenny Han, Boldt

The Big Room environment is highly effective for promoting collaboration and the integration of teams. This live lab will demonstrate how to implement a few approaches that have been effective in some recent Big Room experiences. Come and see a Live Lab set up with demonstrations on how the setup of the workspace can affect the level of quality in the work, get the right people in the room at the right times, visual management tools, creating a safe and open culture, and the importance of in-person participation.

Key Takeaways :

Why does in-person collaboration matter?
“Getting the right people on the bus” at the right stops
Visuals - Low-Fi | High-Fi
Everyone “show up” Physically, culturally and mentally.

10:15 am - F1 Pit Stop Pull Plan Synchronized

Presentation Team: Kasey Kaeser, Whiting Turner | Eric Hartlove, Whiting Turner

A Formula 1 pit stop is much more than just stopping, changing tires and accelerating away. Absolute precision, perfect teamwork and split-second decisions are needed for a smooth pit stop. The current record for the fastest ever pitstop in F1 is 1.80 seconds which is held by the McLaren Racing team. The weekly pull plan meeting should not take 1.80 seconds; however, the perfect teamwork and absolute precision should be the goal of any management team. When the team is synchronized, and everyone's roles are known or assigned the meeting is smooth and effective. Our presentation will discuss the roles, responsibilities, and lessons learned from that synchronized team.

11:00 am - Streamlining Field Communication: Daily Huddles in Trades

Presentation Team: Michael Villar, Nevell Group | Blake Tormey, KHS&S | Kenny Diekmann, Southland Industries

The Daily Huddle is one of the most powerful methods to inform, educate, and communicate to a broad and diverse team. For contractors, our workforce is inherently transient. It is very rare to have consistent crews from one month to the next. The Daily Huddle is the place where standards, Lean education, safety moments, and production goals can be communicated consistently and in a standard way that benefits the entire crew.
