Join us for a Virtual Lean Brew to learn and support each other in our 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 lessons you’ve learned on your Lean Journey. No previous Lean experience is required.
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.
Attendance is free of charge. Please pre-register.

Stop Starting, Start Finishing Your Way to Lower Stress Projects with the Kanban Method
Do your projects, offices, departments sometimes result in overloaded staff and less than desirable work product? We've learned from the world of Lean thinking that there's a better way to organize our workflow and stay coordinated throughout the overall design and construction process. This approach is called the "Kanban Method" and is a method used to visualize their work while continuously improving the way they bring flow to the production of their work. This leads to higher first-quality, happier staff, more satisfied clients, and more profitable work.
This event is a great opportunity to participate in a hands on workshop to understand the Kanban principles and practices as well as produce a Kanban board that you can begin using immediately in your daily job.
