"Thus, at one level, the answer to the knowing-doing."
- Jeffrey Pfeffer and Robert Sutton
Lean Project Consulting, Inc. offers full-service consulting on lean project
delivery. By bringing together the work of Flores, Goldratt, and Ohno/Shingo
we are attempting to reform how projects are delivered.
Concern about projects has never been at a higher level. Project
management is currently one of the most-cited career positions.
Every company and organization has projects. Membership in the 25
year-old Project Management Institute PMI
has swelled from about 8,000 to 100,000 in just the last ten years, 30,000
in the last year alone. Currently, over 1,000 books on project management
are available from PMI. Yet we
continue to get projects that are over budget, late, and fail in some
significant way to satisfy the customer and the project participants.
While many people recognize and suffer with the failings of our current
practices the bulk of today’s improving efforts are spent on doing a better
job applying the same old techniques. In conjunction with the Lean
Construction Institute and Vanry & Associates, Lean Project Consulting,
Inc. has set out to change that.
