CONFERENCE INTRO DAY 2

Training: Introduction to Lean in the Field - Part 2

In this training session, Colin and David will expand upon the Lean in the field fundamentals and explore key important ingredients in making your field implementation successful. Colin and David will go over mistakes and pitfalls that people often make, explore the soft skills, facilitation skills, and listening skills needed to make the most of your LPS implementation, and what you should do to continuously improve over time.

Lessons Learned from using Takt in Construction for over 10 Years

In this session, Janosch will share examples and case studies from over 10 years of applying takt in construction. He will explore the three levels of takt planning: Macro, Norm, and Micro level. He will explain how his thinking and application of takt has evolved over the last decade and how he adapts takt to different types of projects.

Integrating Takt & Last Planner - Getting the best of both worlds

The Last Planner System and Takt are two methods for controlling and improving production in construction. Some teams use LPS, some teams use Takt, and a few use both of them. In this session, Felipe will share an example of how his team has been able to successfully integrate Takt with LPS to get the best results from both methods.

Project Managers Panel

How can we succeed in applying Lean Construction in the field? What are the main hurdles and how to overcome them? How to get buy-in from management and workers out in the field? How has Lean Construction improved the way we build? This and more will be discussed in the Project Managers panel, with real hands-on experiences and lessons learned from the field.

Using Lean to Improve Quality

How do we improve quality? What does quality mean for a construction project? How do Lean methods, principles, and philosophies help us improve quality? How does Lean reduce rework, eliminate waste, and produce products that the end users want? In this session, Elizabeth will explore the link between Lean and quality. She will also share the strategy at DPR to use Lean to improve built-in quality over time.

Engaging with the Field on an IPD Project

IPD projects allow for early involvement of the construction team during the design phase. But how should the IPD engage with the field team and superintendents during the design and construction phase? In this session, Baris will explain why it is important to engage with the field early on, what that collaboration looks like, and how to use early collaboration to proactively solve problems ahead of time.

An Integrated Leadership Framework: Leading Jobsites with Psychological Safety and Inclusion

As the construction industry evolves, the role of jobsite leaders is expanding to include new challenges that significantly impact the wellbeing of our workforce. Today’s leaders are tasked not only with meeting traditional performance metrics but also with fostering environments that prioritize mental health and inclusion. This session explores how the jobsite can become a crucible for new value systems, integrating practices that build psychological safety into the daily workflows without compromising operational efficiency.

Active Listening & Tactical Empathy for better project outcomes

We can all listen more and we can all have more empathy as leaders. In this session, James will explore the topics of active listening and tactical empathy. He will also explain why honing these “soft” skills are important as a servant leader.

Building lean capabilities for the field - How we develop superintendents, project managers, and project engineers

With Lean Construction, it is important to train and develop the people who are doing the work. In this case, it is the Superintendents, Project Managers, Project Engineers, and foreman who are on the frontline every day. In this session, Nick will share the unique approach from OShea where they are actively developing their field team’s capabilities in Lean and are seeing tangible results from it.
