Abstract: How do world-class organizations do it? The question seems to be on everyone's mind. We assume it takes a great product, good marketing, good employees, and discipline. World Class organizations are characterized as getting better and better. In the construction industry we are beginning to know this as 'Lean Construction'. Maybe you have experience with TQM or have been in a lecture that mentioned Deming's 14 Management Points. Now, you or your firm is investigating Lean Construction. Lean involves an organizational change and that means culture. What does culture really mean? Just how can a continuous improvement effort really change things?
