Target Value Design

(April 2013)

 

An essential element of Integrated Project Delivery (IPD), Target Value Design (TVD) can be a major catalyst for project success for a team willing to work both collaboratively and transparently and embrace an approach different from current practice. During this webinar DPR Construction will cover the basic elements of what it takes to execute TVD throughout the entire design and construction process, including discussing what are key concepts and tools that are essential for the successful implementation of TVD.

 

The presenter, Josh Bronitsky, has been with DPR Construction for over seven years.  Josh's first experience with Integrated Project Delivery and Target Value Design came as a project engineer on the four-party Autodesk 1 Market project in 2008.  Since then, he has been both Preconstruction and Project Manager on Sutter's IPD healthcare projects in Castro Valley, CA.

 

All projects were delivered on schedule and on budget and developed 'raving fans' who have since become repeat customers.  Josh is now actively trying to apply these IPD behaviors to a $510M, 537,000 sq.ft. expansion children's hospital on the Stanford campus.

Value Management

(March 2013)

 

Value Management in the AEC industry looks to answer two questions: How does the industry address inconsistent profitability on projects and how do we differentiate ourselves from the competition?

 

Sure, we're better than we were, with a plethora of new tools that help us aim for consistent results. Every project owner wants high performing projects that deliver real value, and the way to deliver that value is the Value Management process.

 

It delivers communication, collaboration and innovation. And it works!

 

John Sloggy, PE, CVS is a Principal at Value Based Design, LLC and is the current Vice President of Communications/Marketing for SAVE International. Trained in the highly competitive arenas of consumer product and automation design, he has worked in various product design and manufacturing engineering positions for Fortune 500 firms before opening Value Based Design consultancy in 2002. John has been improving real organizational value through facilitating Value Management sessions for upwards of 20 years and 200+ studies.

Lean Architecture Introduction

(February 2013)

 

Lean Architecture is the ongoing process of rethinking and improving architectural methodology. It is the pursuit of better work by applying "Lean" principles to every aspect of professional practice. It is about smarter information flow and understanding how we perceive and process information in order to become better communicators among ourselves and with the ultimate users of our services.

 

This webinar covers the key essentials of Lean thinking and identifies three goals for implementation by architects and will explore their application to project management, documentation, and technology.

 

Mike Czap, AIA of RTKL Associates, Inc. gave an energetic presentation sharing those principles with proven examples for implementation by architects and their firms.
