A Lean "Brew" (New York State CoP)
May 11, 2021 @ 3:30 pm – 5:00 pm
Read more >>
Join us for a Lean "Brew." Take part in an open conversation in a safe, small and low-pressure environment about the topics that are relevant to our construction community. We want to hear about the problems you are solving, the issues you want to solve, and lessons you’ve learned. Share your experience with Lean Project Delivery, or come ask how to get started. No previous Lean experience is required. And this being a "brew", you are welcome to attend with a beverage your choice (adult or otherwise!)
Our facilitator is Brian Winningham, Owner/Coach at Field Driven Lean, LLC. Brian has more than 20 years industry experience, and is the master at facilitating virtual discussion and planning sessions.
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. This happens until it is agreed that the topic has been discussed to satisfaction. Takeaways are considered and then the topic with the next largest amount of votes is addressed.
Come as you are and be ready to learn.

Better Building – Lean Practice for the Project-Driven Organization
The business of creating our built environment remains largely siloes and disconnected today. Owners, designers, construction managers, and trade contractors each defend their profit margins by shifting risk to others and focusing on their own piece of the puzzle. Lean thinking promises to change all this, yet has proven particularly difficult to implement in the building industry.
Better Building provides a practical model for putting Lean thinking into action and improving the experience of project work. Based on years of experience shifting mindsets and behaviors, this model answers the most often asked questions and provides a roadmap for navigating the toughest parts of a Lean transformation journey in the project-driven environment.
Whether exploring Lean for the first time or sharpening skills of leadership and continuous improvement, every individual, team or organization will benefit from these insights.
Join Klaus Lemke as he shares some of the experiences and insights that went into the development of the Better Building model. The session will include practical advice for incorporating Lean thinking into project-driven work, and a chance to exchange ideas and challenge your own thinking about what is possible.
