Lesson Bullets – What a Participant Will Learn:
This course is ideal for anyone involved in creating, leading or fixing project teams. Imagine your project team is a boat of ten people. In the average boat three people will be highly engaged and rowing, five will be watching and waiting for instructions and two will be drilling a hole in the back. This powerful workshop will show you how to turn an average team into high performing. It addresses how to engage the 50% in the middle of your boat and the 20% that are sinking your efforts. It takes you deeper than crafting a clear mission or values to defining the key specific behaviors for success. High performing teams don’t simply happen, they happen by design. You will learn the distilled insight of over 10 years of research, working with more than 130 organizations and the strategies and techniques the best teams practiced. Each participant will receive a copy of Change your Space, Change your Culture.

We’re all trying to transform. At the company level, a transformation is a very big experiment indeed, at both the macro level, and at the very granular level of the daily, hourly, immediate work itself. To transform the way people think and behave within an organization to be more of a problem solving mindset is no easy task and varies from industry to industry, company to company and person to person. It requires disipline, investment and a belief that we can make things better.
Successful transformation calls for a situational approach that is based on innovating key dimensions of any organization through addressing a series of questions. These questions are fractal, meaning the same questions apply whether working at the macro enterprise level or the level of individual responsibility as you dive progressively deeper into each dimension. But, while the transformation that has emerged through years of experience is situational, the nature of the questions represent a clear point of view: If an organization fails to address each question, and with a sense of how each relates to the others, the transformation is headed for trouble.
Presented by:
Would you like to collaborate with other executives that have started a learn transformation and implemented Last Planner® within their company?

Lesson Bullets – What a Participant Will Learn:
This workshop is intended for owners and owner’s representatives who want to learn how to create trust-based teams earlier in the programming and planning process. A global top five contractor conducted two years of research examining the outcomes of every project. They divided them into those that ended well and those that ended badly. Their conclusion? 100% of projects that started poorly ended badly. The current system for procuring and delivering construction is designed to create distrust. Contractors, architects and subs have a lot of history and baggage that conditions them to be skeptical when owners propose taking a trust-based approach. This workshop will explore how to rebuild trust within traditional project delivery as well as learn techniques from some of the new trust based models like IPD and LIPD. It will deal with the real challenges and mistakes owners make who have good intentions but run into resistance from either their suppliers or internally with procurement or legal departments. In addition to new strategies, techniques and tools is a bigger question of changing old habits and attitudes. This workshop will prepare you to lead change, succeed, and live to tell about it. Each participant will receive a copy of Nine Transforming Keys to Lowering Costs, Cutting Waste, and Driving Change in a Broken Industry.

The issue isn’t about your people knowing the safety guidelines; it’s about being motivated to actually follow them. This program provides that motivation.
