presents

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

Greg Howell has changed his schedule to join Will Lichtig in heading up this highly interactive session in which we plan to break new ground in the area of risk recognition and mitigation.  

You won’t want to miss this opportunity to work directly with industry leaders and with two of the most prominent voices in the lean construction movement.

Will Lichtig VP, Boldt & Greg Howell President, LCI

Abstract:

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.

Please join us for a highly interactive workshop in which we will explore the major sources of project risk and work to identify the underlying root causes in a way we may not have previously considered.  We will explore these risks from the perspectives of Owners, subcontractors, designers, construction managers, and others engaged in delivering large projects.  We will then 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.

Date and Time:

Thursday, December 15, 2011 9:30am-2:00pm 

Cancellation Deadline: Friday December 9, 2011 11:55pm.  There will be no refunds after this time. Each person must register and pay to attend the meeting and dinner. Please help us save time, expense, and avoid people showing up at the last minute… plan ahead and register early! We cannot keep costs reasonable and caterers cannot plan their food without sufficient notice.

Value-Added Proposition:

Participants will be able to expand their understanding of key risk issues while learning new ways to analyze complex issues all while having a great time.   Don’t plan on sitting through another PowerPoint presentation – you will be involved in the whole program.
