Theme: Overcoming Our Industry Challenges with Lean Solutions
Tracks:
Overcoming Challenges for Owners
Overcoming Design and Planning Challenges
Overcoming Challenges in the Field
Overcoming the Waste around People and Behaviors
We encourage owners, designers/engineers, general contractors, trade partners and academics to submit abstracts related to the above theme and the presentation tracks below:  
Lean Transformations Lean project, program and enterprise transformation implementations/journeys within organizations focusing on Lean embedment in all of a firm’s operations.
Adapting Lean Principles to the Planning, Design and Preconstruction Phases Leveraged Lean Techniques in the planning and design phase.
Field-Driven Lean Lean stories that were driven by trade partners, site superintendents and other in-field staff (production, safety, quality, etc.).
Lean in 2028, Envisioning the Future What advanced technology, new techniques and innovation (i.e. 4D/5F BIM, safety, modular construction, artificial intelligence, automation, etc.) have you leveraged to enable or enhance Lean implementation on projects? Note: Must demonstrate application of Lean principles in project or company setting -- no product-only presentations.
Talent Gap -- Knowledge Transfer Acknowledging the ever-growing gap of talent in the industry, respecting the deep knowledge held within and how to transfer it efficiently, investing in our future, fostering team development, developing a system that consistently produces results (i.e. not “if we only had more A team players”). Lean experience transfer.
Kaizen -- Continuous Improvement Stories of project, program or company wide implementation of Kaizen, continuous improvements with a desire to hear as much about failures as successes and the lessons learned in both.
