ANNOUNCEMENT: LPC & TRG NOW COLLABORATING
Lean Project Consulting (LPC), the industry's pioneering lean transformation consulting and coaching firm, and The ReAlignment Group, Ltd. (TRG), a unique provider of facilitation services for lean partnering, team building and Integrated Project Delivery, have announced the signing of a formal Memorandum of Understanding to provide collaborative, coordinated services to the design and construction industry.
"The ReAlignment Group is the best I've seen at what I call 'managing the political space' on design and construction teams," said Lean Construction and LPC founder and principal Greg Howell. "LPC has an enviable track record of training and coaching many of the top companies in our industry and serving as thought leaders internationally," added TRG President Dick Bayer.
Together, the two firms will share talent resources and lessons learned on managing the lean journey and developing robust project teams, including further developing standard work in launching lean enterprises project-wide and company/agency-wide.
"The rapidly increasing pace of adoption of Lean Construction Principles in our industry requires that Lean leaders collaborate, really collaborate and this partnership leverages that momentum and simply accelerates it," said Hal Macomber, managing principle of LPC. "And we couldn't find a stronger, more experienced, more respected partners than Hal, Greg and their team," added TRG Executive Vice President Dan Fauchier.
The two firms first collaborated on the California Prison Healthcare Receivership, a multi-billion healthcare prototype effort from 2008-2009. The partnership's new focus will be to bring enhanced value to their customers and the best educational, coaching and growth experiences to the AEC industry.
Both company's executives are also Board members of Lean Construction Institute, an eight year-old research and industry think tank founded by Howell and Dr. Glenn Ballard, who has since led the development of P2SL at UC Berkeley. Ballard and Howell are known internationally as fathers of Lean Construction.
