The Best of Lean in the Design Phase (June 1, 5, 8, 12, 15 & 19)
This series of (6) 2 hour, online sessions will dig deeper and wider into the topics covered in Lean Unit 6: Lean Design and Pre-construction, and meets AGC?s requirements for CM-Lean Continuing Education Credit.
Lean is a management approach that employs all members of a team to promote innovation, continuous improvement, and a more engaging workplace.
Designers, builders in pre-construction departments, trades engaged in design-assist, and leaders overseeing projects for owners will learn how Lean methods support innovative, cost-effective design.
Reimagine the design phase through a combination of lectures, small group discussions, and simulations. This course will emphasize how Lean can support your teams during that magical time where innovation and cost savings are easiest to capture: From the owner?s first realization of a building need to the basic concept the project team moves forward with.
You will learn how to:- Facilitate conversations between the design team and the owner to create innovative design, fit for purpose.
- Align your team around your client?s true needs ? guide user groups and stakeholders in the exploration of a universe of options that help them translate desire into physical space.
- Ensure projects are affordable, constructible, on-target, and on-time.
- Get the most out of your specialists, including engineers and builders, learn to better manage the collaborative effort, and complete work within design fee budgets.
- Give designers time to do what they do best ? Design! ? and Owners confidence in the decisions they make.
