Lean Pulse: Learn to See Invisible Handoffs

One of the biggest opportunities for improvement on a project often isn’t the work itself — it’s what happens between the work. Small delays, unclear ownership, and waiting for decisions can quietly compound across an entire process and create major impacts on schedule, coordination, and flow.

That’s why Lean teams spend time mapping how value actually moves through a project. When teams can clearly see where handoffs happen, they can start reducing friction, improving accountability, and creating smoother workflows from one phase to the next.

What’s one improvement your team has made that helped create better flow between people, phases, or disciplines? Learn more and join the conversation on LinkedIn!

WEBINAR TODAY: How Lean Construction Practices May Impact Mental Health

Recent LCI-funded research reveals a sobering reality:

  1. Construction workers represent just 7.4% of the U.S. workforce, yet account for 17.9% of all suicides.
  2. Nearly half report symptoms of depression, and more than one-third say their job is more stressful than they expected.

This is not just a personal issue. It is an industry issue.

The encouraging news is that the same Lean practices many teams are already using to improve project outcomes are also linked to better mental health on the job. Clear goals, daily huddles, and stronger team communication are not just operational tools. They are human ones.

Join us today for a live webinar with researchers Thais Alves, Ph.D. and Min Liu, moderated by Henry Nutt III, as they walk through the findings and what they mean for your projects, your teams, and your approach.

This webinar is free for LCI corporate members!

FREE WEBINAR NEXT WEEK: Embedding Safety into the Takt Rhythm

On a large Care Complex project, the Boldt team embedded safety directly into takt planning and daily production systems instead of managing it separately.

Using Daily Huddles, visual planning, 5S material strategies, and just-in-time deliveries, the team improved coordination, reduced jobsite clutter, and created a safer and more reliable workflow. The result was zero incidents, zero accidents, zero recordables, and zero first aids during concrete and steel topping out.

Join Garrett Malik, Mark Schneider, and Felipe Engineer-Manriquez on May 27 to learn practical strategies for integrating safety into production planning and improving project performance.
