Despite the success of Lean Project Delivery, stakeholders such as owners / asset developers are dissatisfied with worker productivity, safety, quality, cost, and schedule performance. Top-level managers and Lean Construction advocates, and practitioners are also frustrated with slow adoption within their own organizations and projects.
Accepted wisdom is to get better at implementing Lean, BIM and IPD through training and coaching. However, there are several problems: limited resources, the time, effort, and cost required, and inability to scale across projects and organizations.
Perhaps we should stop and ask a few questions starting with: is this the best solution? Surely Toyota must’ve faced this problem. How did the people within that organization become so good, what did they do? Does that story square with our own experience? Can we do something similar for making buildings?
In this webinar, Dean Reed will explain:
- What we can learn from Toyota
- What we can do within or organizations and projects as top-level managers, trainers / coaches, and team members
