  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....

One of the biggest problems in construction, and a major contributor to chaos, stress, missed deadlines, and overspending, is the lack of flow on our projects. What if we told you one of our industry standards, CPM scheduling, is the main contributor? CPM scheduling operates on an early-start, early-finish algorithm with varied durations that destabilize the schedule and disrupt flow. This destabilization creates constant start-stop throughout the parade of trades that hurts the project with time delays and cost. We throw money at the problem and create stress across all parties to get to the finish line, and oftentimes the pressure increases the risk of safety incidents. It is a widely accepted expectation that projects get more stressful and chaotic...
