Creating Everyday Improvement

The purpose of this interactive webinar is to enable participants to explore how enabling trade crews and their leaders to feel safe can
help the Last Planner System® (LPS) create everyday improvement in processes and productivity in design and construction. The webinar will use short presentations, small group discussions and explorations, key points, questions and answers.
For many years the construction sector has relied on workers with little formal education or construction skill training who travel long distances to work on projects for months at a time. In this environment construction productivity is low, safety is poor and so is product quality.
Customers want quality product. It is the workers who create quality (value) for customers. Quality product is easier to produce in a factory but off-site fabrication needs reliable and predictable production on site to realise the full benefits. LPS can help deliver reliable and
predictable on-site production. In order to realise these benefits for their customers, project delivery teams need a new approach that treats all workers with respect and helps them to learn. For full benefits, the changes involved will be implemented at sectoral, corporate and project levels.
By the end of the webinar, participants will:
• Understand the connection between psychological safety and learning; learning and improvement;
• Be aware of the key structured conversations that are an integral part of LPS and how they work together to improve productivity;
• Understood how the promise cycle is critical to many of the structured conversations and how feeling psychologically safe is vital to making that work
