Lean Construction Events: Classes, Workshops, and Lean Coffee

  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....

          Riding the Waves of Safety and Efficiency Participants will be introduced to the value behind zoom level observations where thousands of hours of production are being lost. Not only will they leave this session being able to identify oceans of improvement opportunities, but they will also be outfitted with a proven approach to cultivating Buy-In WITH our trade partners. This method of zoom level observations will accelerate their efforts in building lasting relationships with our skilled workforce by removing ‘hard’ work from their workflow. But how do we make sure these aren’t just localized improvements that wash away with the tide? The exercise at the beginning of this interactive session will calibrate the audience’s improvement goggles so...
