What does real collaboration look like on a Lean/IPD project, and what makes it possible?
Join the LCI New England Community of Practice for an in-depth conversation with leaders from Procter & Gamble on how Lean and Integrated Project Delivery practices create measurable value when teams are supported by the right culture. You’ll hear practical lessons from active projects, the barriers that still get in the way, and how teams can overcome them to deliver better outcomes.
What you will learn:
- How their roles enable Lean and IPD delivery in their roles at P&G
- How Lean / IPD practices enabled their team members to truly collaborate
- Cultural and behavioral barriers that can still block collaboration
- How their team members overcame challenges that they encountered along the way
- Their key lessons learned from past and current projects
The discussion will be facilitated by Cynthia Tsao, Owner of Navilean LLC and Founder of Building AEC Learning, Inc, and will open into more in-depth dialogue involving meeting attendees.
Join us for this thought-provoking discussion as we exchange our lessons learned and inspire each other to continue leveraging Lean / IPD practices to dramatically improve overall project outcomes in New England!
