Join us for a Lean Coffee style Happy Hour event to restart the conversation about our current Lean endeavors. Take part in an open conversation in a safe, small and low pressure environment about the topics that are relevant to our lean community. We want to hear about the problems you are solving, the issues you want to solve and the lessons you have learned on your Lean Journey. No previous Lean Experience is required.
Participants from cross functional roles such as designers, contractors, owners, trade partners and associations propose discussion topics around any subject about which they want to learn - THERE ARE NO IRRELEVANT DISCUSSION TOPICS!! Each proposer takes 15-30 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 5 minutes of time to discuss the topic. After 5 minutes there will be a "thumbs up/thumbs down" to decide whether or not the discussion should continue. Thumbs up means 3 more minutes on the clock. This happens until it is agreed that the topic has been discussed to satisfaction. Takeaways are considered and then the group will move on to the next topic on our list.
Adult beverages, sodas and water will be provided.
Come as you are and be ready to learn.
