Pick a Winning Team

It takes a TEAM with different THINKING and a high level of COLLABORATION to deliver the much higher levels of performance that are expected on Lean Project.  In this module we explore how to pick and coach the team to deliver a lean project.

Utilize a Lean Project Delivery System 

Lean Project Delivery involves adopting lean practices for design and construction. In this module we will learn the two main systems, Target Cost Design and the Last Planner System.

Target Value Design is a disciplined design management system that focuses on delivering what represents value for the customer for the cost that they can afford.   It involves establishing a clear target, developing fully integrated design solutions with the whole team that meet the requirements and testing assumptions to the requirements and cost. Simple as that! 

  

The Last Planner manages the relationships, conversations and commitments that together enable program and production planning decisions to be made collaboratively at the lowest possible level in the construction process. It is a production planning and productivity  system that when properly implemented can improve productivity by 30%.

Collaborate for Higher Performance

By adopting tools and strategies that support lean and more integrated practices we are able to have our cake and eat it too, higher performance at less cost. WE will learn about setting up collaborative work environments, integrated design and how to hold the team accountable to getting work done in  a highly focused work effort.

The Course includes:

• Lean Project Delivery System Essential Elements
• Team Assembly and management
• Last Planner System 
• Target Value Design
• Setting up Collaborative work environments
• Case study: Mosaic Center

Our goal with this online course is to provide project leaders with all of the essential elements to implement a lean project with assistance.

The next steps for participants would be to take additional training. An option would be to arrange for a Lean Project Boot Camp and/or take the more advance  Online Lean Project Facilitator Course.

“It takes a Team to deliver WOW projects at less cost”

As you develop mastery in Lean Project Delivery you will be able to achieve higher productivity, profit and performance. This advanced level course focuses on the lean and more integrated practices that enable extraordinary results such as delivering NetZero building at no additional cost.

Three main learning objectives are:

1. Why not set the bar high like Net Zero Energy at Net Zero additional cost?
2. How to deliver exceptional projects by creating a highly collaborative team
3. Manage with discipline using the Last Planner System & Target Value Design

Details: The Lean to be Green Facilitator course is an in depth exploration of how to deliver higher performance at less cost. (50-hour online course, Introductory cost of $375)

The workshop includes:

• There is a Business Case: WHY are Lean companies more successful?
• Simple Principles and Practices: Lean is as simple as focusing on creating Value for the customer getting work to flow and stopping to fix problems
• Design for Value: How to deliver higher performance at less cost 
• Build with Efficiency: How to drastically improve productivity on projects
• Learn by Doing:  Practice lean with hands-on production simulations

Creating an AHA Moment!

When participants experience hands on lean production and see the huge potential of a different way of approaching production, the light bulb goes on and there is an AHA moment. Creating this AHA moment is instrumental in getting the team engaged and primed for the cultural change needed for Lean Project Delivery.

Our goal with this workshop is to help  break down employees’ natural resistance to change, making it a practical and entertaining way to introduce new concepts, open constructive dialogue and demonstrate the positive aspects of well-planned directed change.

The next steps for participants would be to take additional training. An option would be to arrange for a Lean Project Boot Camp or take the Online Lean Project Facilitator Course.
