British designer Thomas Heatherwick has been hailed as a genius for the uniquely inventive nature of his work. Trained at London's Royal College of Art, Heatherwick's practice encompasses projects ranging in scale from very small to monumental, from products to public sculpture to architecture. Provocations: The Architecture and Design of Heatherwick Studio examines the astonishing range of the studio’s practice by focusing on the design concepts behind small products such as the handbag designed for Longchamp and his rotation-molded "Spun" chairs, as well as large public and private architectural projects in the U.K., U.S., Abu Dhabi, South Africa, Singapore, and China. These include the U.K. Pavilion—known as the Seed Cathedral at the 2010 World Expo; a new distillery for Bombay Sapphire gin; a Learning Hub for Nanyang Technological University in Singapore; and a contemporary art museum created within a historic grain silo, among many other exciting projects. Heatherwick Studio is recognized for its inventive approach to design, often combining novel engineering with new materials and innovative technology to create unusual, often sculptural, building forms.
Organized by the Nasher Sculpture Center, Dallas, Provocations is curated by Brooke Hodge, deputy director of Cooper Hewitt, Smithsonian Design Museum. The Hammer’s presentation is overseen by curator Aram Moshayedi. The Hammer Museum's presentation is made possible in partnership with Burberry. Additional support is provided by The Brotman Foundation of California, Lewis Baskerville, Ronnie Sassoon, and Helen and Sam Zell. Media sponsorship is provided by KCRW 89.9FM. Special thanks to Herman Miller and Bombay Sapphire Gin. Sign up for the waiting and the summit, sign up now. We do not share or sell member information. Follow us on Twitter The summit has reached capacity, however… Pre-summit workshops are still open for registration You can still "attend" the summit virtually with live streaming You can put your name on the waiting list Each year lean thinkers from dozens of industries, at every stage of their journey, gather the Lean Transformation Summit to learn, share, and network.
Last year's summit in New Orleans was the largest and highest rated summit in LEI's 20-year history. Our goal is to improve our summit every year. We do this by listening to attendees, and the lean community at large. The two biggest requests from last year were more time for networking and more learning sessions. So this year we've designed a summit with just that, plus many of the surprises attendees get when attending an LEI learning experience. The 2016 Lean Transformation Summit is taking place on March 17-18 at the Red Rock Resort in Las Vegas, NV. Intentionally, we are not on 'The Strip', but close enough that you can easily get there or enjoy the beautiful views of the Red Rock Canyon. What can you expect from the 2016 Lean Transformation Summit? Learning you can apply when you return to work Monday morning. Motivation to improve/charge your battery We intentionally limit the size of our summits so they maintain an intimate feel and allow for unique network opportunities.
Last year we sold out in record time and we expect this year will sell out even faster. So please register while we still have space. Plenary & Breakout Sessions | It has been 25 years since the release of The Machine That Changed the World, a book that actually helped change the world. We are still seeing that change, in new industries, applications, and learning. Join LEI’s CEO and Chairman, John Shook as he shares his unique views of what lean truly is, how it’s spread, and explore how we can make it better. back to top » In Plenary sessions companies and special guests share unique insights into their lean transformations, as well as challenges, next steps, and lessons learned. After the presentations Breakout sessions take place where the people doing the work share more details on what was accomplished, how it is done, and give you something that you can apply on Monday morning when you return to work. “Nationwide is On Your Side” is not a tagline.
It is a promise to Nationwide’s customers, and that promise is kept through a lean journey that started in 2009. Six years ago, Nationwide embarked on building industry leading software engineering capabilities. This lean journey has enabled and engaged the 9000+ person IT organization to deliver great solutions to customers and partners with industry-leading quality. Guru Vasudeva, SVP & CIO, Application and Data Services, and Tom Paider, AVP, Build Capability Leader, will discuss with the audience a lean system that guides all aspects of software engineering, including a lean management system from the frontline to the C-suite, a focus on problem solving, visual management, accountability, and what is possible when technology and lean collide. Legal Sea Foods is dramatically changing the way restaurants work. For 60 years this family-owned group of restaurants (don’t call them a chain), has relentlessly focused on freshness and the guest experience. From menu to atmosphere, each restaurant is unique.
That means diners have a distinctive experience at each restaurant – but each restaurant has unique problems. Solving them starts with staff and managers at each location truly understanding their work and roles. It doesn’t end there, but extends across the entire value stream -- from fishing boat to your belly. In this plenary session, President and CEO Roger Berkowitz will share what Legal is learning during its continuing lean transformation. Later, at the breakout session, company change agents will share how-to details about how lean principles are being implemented in restaurants. Imagine you are a small contract manufacturer. You have two major customers that have just merged to become the majority of your business. And now that newly formed single customer needs you to reduce your price by 50% - or you lose them! This is the situation Phase 2 Medical Manufacturing, a contract manufacturer for single-use medical devices, was in. In this Plenary presentation, you’ll hear from Phase 2 President Adam Prime on how they partnered with their customer to adopt lean techniques and were not only able to meet their customer’s needs, but expand their business too.
Joining Adam in the Breakout session will be Dave Errico and Mark Johnson of Medtronic, Phase 2’s customer, where they will explain more about how they were able to create change, and improve the work. You’ll also hear how they are taking what they’ve learned on the shop floor and spread it to the back office. SunPower believes in changing the way our world is powered, and that’s exactly what they are doing. They are a global solar technology leader and energy services provider with a history of delivering high-efficiency solar cells and panels with unmatched long–term reliability and guaranteed performance, all while eliminating the environmental impact of manufacturing. Chief Operating Officer Marty Neese will describe the Circular Economy and share SunPower’s “CLean” (Circular + Lean) energy transformation model of moving from an economy of "take, make, waste" to one of responsible, circular design using lean principles and the SunPower Production System.
Through the CLean model, SunPower drives waste elimination, material and natural resource closed loops and the broader use of renewable energy to enable “Triple Certified Factories” that are LEED certified, Zero Waste to Landfill certified, and manufacture Cradle to Cradle certified products. This session, based on the new book, Building the Fit Organization, distills the lessons from the Toyota Production System into six core concepts, and coaches them in the easily understandable language of physical fitness and athletic excellence—no Japanese or English jargon, no hackneyed, off-putting references to Toyota. By the end of the session, your team will be ready to make your company faster, more competitive, and better able to win in your market. Trying to be Toyota is a mistake. What leaders need to do instead is learn from Toyota — learn how to convert their moderately competent organizations into dynamic, constantly improving, profoundly customer-focused entities.
A "fit" organization, led by a "fit" leader, has the ability to continuously improve in a manner that delivers superior performance and results over the long haul. Increase value, don't reduce costs; Think horizontally, not vertically; Define the right way to work; Visual management and real time feedback ; Learn a new way to frame and explain lean. Understand six key factors needed for organizational excellence. The summit is designed to be the best networking venue in the Lean Community by providing formal and informal ways for you to connect with counterparts facing the same challenges as you: Last year LEI and over 50 summit attendees had the opportunity to volunteer their time and elbow grease to help a good causeThis year we are going to carry-on that tradition. Join us in assisting the 140 veterans living at Veteran’s Village in the Las Vegas area. You will be lending a helping hand and beautifying the campus as well as boosting morale by creating inspirational and encouraging notes for the residents.
