Theme: Overcoming Our Industry Challenges with Lean Solutions

Overcoming Challenges in the Field
Overcoming the Waste around People and Behaviors
This year's theme is Overcoming Our Industry Challenges with Lean Solutions and the four tracks listed below will steer the attendees to the sessions that matter most to their Lean journey. Overcoming Challenges for Owners
Owners often face challenges that lead to dissatisfaction with a project's cost, schedule and quality. Follow this track to explore Lean approaches owners can implement to overcome various project challenges and increase satisfaction.
Overcoming Design and Planning Challenges
Architects, engineers, and pre-construction professionals can leverage Lean in the planning and design phase to overcome their unique challenges. This track will guide attendees to tangible takeaways for applying Lean methods from pre-construction planning through to the end of the project life cycle. Overcoming Challenges in the Field
Foremen, superintendents and field workers face common challenges on the job site that can be improved with a Lean culture. Follow this track to explore specific Lean processes that improve team communication in the field and establish reliable workflow.
Overcoming the Waste around People and Behaviors
The key to a Lean culture is empowering teams to overcome the waste they see in their own work and behaviors. This track will lead attendees to specific Lean processes and techniques they can use to foster a Lean culture that identifies and eliminates waste around people and behaviors.
