The Last Planner System® is the heart of Lean Design and Construction.  Successful projects are networks of kept commitments, and when we see projects fail it is often due to the lack of respect for keeping one’s word.

As Lean Leaders, we need to model the behavior we expect.  Exercising the use of Reliable Promising shows our project teams that our word is truly our bond.  If we don’t keep our promises, how can we expect others to create theirs?  “Respect for People’ is one of the 6 tenets of Lean – and practicing Reliable Promising builds a culture of kept commitments.

Speaker:

Dave Hagan, Devenney Group  is a Lean Coach and Guide concentrating on Respect for People and the importance of Reliable Promising in commitment-based planning.  As a past winner of the Lean Construction Institute’s Board Achievement Award, and as a Certified Practitioner of Lean Construction, Dave uses his 50 years of experience in project delivery to build and repair trust in multi-faceted project teams.
