Objectives:

• Learn what Target Value Design (delivery) is
• Learn how TVD process works through a hands-on simulation
• Define the keys to success using TVD

Target Value Design is a collaborative management practice and design process that is used throughout all stages of design and construction to ensure that projects are delivered within the allowable budget, meet the operational needs and values of the users and that projects promotes innovation. Participants will learn how to drive innovation into a project using constraints and understand the importance of continual cost estimating in giving power to the end users to add value. By participating in simulated activities, participants will also acquire an understanding of the parameters and methods for structuring Target Value Design within their own projects.

The Theoretical and Practical Learning Objectives include:

• Why teams are more effective by collaboratively planning
• The principles supporting Last Planner System®
• Last Planner System® beyond just the Pull-planning session
• How the principles are adapted for design phase vs. construction
• Real team examples and experiences will be shared

During this session, participants will learn why it is important to collaboratively plan during design phases and how Last Planner System® is an effective tool to support improved delivery for their projects. This use of Last Planner System® is adapted to the specifics of design, which is about advancing the flow of information. Last Planner System® has been used by teams during design to stabilize their delivery process by keeping all team members’ needs being met reliably. The session will include a learning simulation to support the concepts.

Learning Objectives include:

• Working definition of Big Room
• Why teams work in a Big Room setting
• What teams look to achieve by using a Big Room
• The types of activities take place
• How to keep the Big Room effective
• The importance of trust and transparency
• Sound Facilitation methods for organization

During this session, participants will learn what is meant by ‘Big Room’ and how it supports Lean as an Operating System. The session will focus on understanding Big Room as a concept, how teams have used Big Rooms to support improved collaboration for delivery of their projects. The session will include a learning simulation to support the concepts.
