3Px PROJECT
People. Promises. Project Execution.
Managing a project can be like riding a roller coaster. While you might know what you’re in for at the start, there’s bound to be a never-ending series of surprises and bumps along the way. On a roller coaster, however, you have high confidence that everything will be OK in the end. For a troubled or failing project, the future is less certain.
3Px is an approach to managing a project that’s based on years of lean consulting experience on every type of project. From straightforward commercial buildings, to airports, microchip plants, hospitals, civil projects, residential complexes, and some of the largest mega-projects in the world, LeanProject has helped projects succeed for over twenty years. This experience has taught us that managing complex teams takes more than lean planning and scheduling. It takes the orchestrated efforts of dozens of people, working together toward a common purpose. It takes trust, teamwork, experience, and collaboration at a level that most projects are unable to achieve. 3Px is a way to consistently create high-performing teams quickly, by fostering the team structure, practices, and skills needed to make it happen. The elements of 3Px are shown in the image below.
This intersection of the right team structure, practices and skills makes possible a new level of performance that most projects can’t imagine. In addition, creating the right culture around the team, one built on trust, transparency, and a mood of possibility, opens the door to even greater breakthroughs.
We know that no project is perfect, but using the 3Px approach gives teams the right tools, and the right thinking to perform at a high level every time, and to consistently, deliberately create an environment of continuous improvement and new possibilities. The results speak for themselves: shorter schedules, improved safety, lower cost, higher productivity, fewer quality problems, better collaboration, and most importantly, happier people. Everytime we apply these concepts to a project, there is quickly a new sense of control, calm, and stability in the project team; from front-line workers to top management. The possibility of a better work experience and better outcomes becomes real, and the mood of the team shifts. It’s a remarkable transformation that yields bottom-line results. Another step closer to the perfect project.
