with new Design Partners

Learn how a high-executing, and established Construction / Architectural team meshed with fresh team members, including team members with limited Lean and IPD experience, for success.

How can improvement be born from disruption?  How best to integrate new team members?

• Strong, successful, teams want to repeat success.
• These high-horsepower groups want to take their momentum and roll on into the next project.
• Bringing in new team members changes the project dynamic and requires teams to reassess their processes.
• This model can lose the focus on continual improvement that can in-turn stifle growth. 
• Different project types can require teams to adapt their approach.
• Diversity in teaming can add fresh perspective and elevates the lean construction community by introducing new views and refined techniques.
• Meshing seasoned individuals or teams with new partners takes careful consideration and can lead to pitfalls. 

We explore how building a project’s own unique culture through discipline and empathy can boost a team for the next generation of success.
