Lean Thinking Ltd in collaboration with Buildoffsite and ISG is delighted to announce the Spring 2012 workshop. The workshop will be delivered by Ali Mafi of Lean Thinking Ltd. This workshop will include contributions from the Ministry of Justice drawn from their experiences of applying the lean project management system on their projects.

Objectives:

The Workshop will provide delegates with the overview of the most advanced project management system utilising Lean Thinking philosophies in conjunction with methodologies such as Theory of Constraint, Systems Thinking, Self managing Teams, Integrated Planning and 6 Sigma. Each new learning point will be illustrated with reference to from some of the UK’s leading clients and Contractors. The tangible business benefits of this unique system will also be demonstrated.

At a time of unprecedented economic challenge for the industry the workshops will demonstrate the best system for radically improving performance and increasing value to clients and at the same time improving competitiveness and profitability.
