Workshop:  Lean as a Counter-Measure to Major Project Risks for Owners, Designers, and Constructors

When:  Wednesday, December 14, 2011 (9:30 a.m. to 2:00 p.m.)

Where:  Seattle, Washington (Mountaineers Club, 7700 Sand Point Way NW)

Sponsored by:  Lean Construction Institute, Cascadia Community of Practice, Seattle Branch

Will Lichtig

Speaker:  Will Lichtig, Vice-President, The Boldt Company

Description:  Nearly every organization involved in capital project delivery is focused on reducing the many forms of project risk.  There seems to be a very good reason for this, as an unacceptably high proportion of major capital projects seem to encounter risks far different, or to a far greater magnitude, than was expected when the decisions were made to proceed. 

This highly interactive workshop will explore the major sources of project risk and work to identify the underlying root causes from the perspectives of Owners, subcontractors, designers, construction managers, and others engaged in delivering large projects.  The worship will address the degree to which lean practices can be an effective counter-measure to the risks, as well as what additional risks that might be introduced if lean practices are implemented – especially if they are implemented without appropriate care.

Cost:

• $75 (by December 13, 2011)
• $85 (at door registration)
