Overview
In the design and construction industry, complex problems arise daily. Join us for a three-part course series to gain insight into approaches and tools to:

• optimize team communication and problem solving
• find and address hurdles before they slow down workflow
• provide value to your projects and client

This series was created to help you design, document, and build projects on time and on budget. Lean methodology is aimed at creating more value for the client and eliminating waste occurring from a lack of collaborative planning.

Lean processes are often applied in the design and construction industry by owners, designers, general contractors, construction project managers, and tradespeople. With a Lean mindset, design teams can share information freely and collaboratively to solve difficult problems and make decisions quickly and efficiently.

This knowledge and skill set will help you excel in your role as a landscape architecture professional and contribute to the overall success of projects!

Module 2 | Last Planner System in Design
The Last Planner System® (LPS) focuses on generating and maintaining flow in work processes by promoting conversations between team members so they can identify problems before those issues interrupt the flow of work. This session introduces the five levels of the LPS around which all planning occurs: should, can, will, did, and learn.

Module 3 | A3 Thinking
In the design and construction industry – as in all industries – complex problems arise daily. Each project contains hundreds of decisions containing thousands of variables and sorting them out to arrive at the best outcome is critical. A3 problem solving provides teams with a strategy to effectively and efficiently deal with problems that they encounter and decisions that need to be reached, bringing the entire team into the collaborative problem-solving process.
