Create the Future
We believe it is time to shift our focus from
“Rules of Engagement” to
“A Covenant of Stewardship.”

By Making Changes
LIGHTHOUSE ADVISORS
Revolutionize
LIGHTHOUSE ADVISORS
Vision
• Position ourselves in those industries in which we can be best in class.
• Maintain a commitment to entrepreneurial ventures through R&D.
• Support passion and excitement in every employee.
LIGHTHOUSE ADVISORS
We embrace this goal
Reduce project delivery time by as much as 50% and perhaps achieve equivalent reductions in project costs.
LIGHTHOUSE ADVISORS
Where are the costs?
EVERYWHERE.
LIGHTHOUSE ADVISORS
What affects the costs?
Fundamental factors• Function: “My basic need”• Envelop: “Keeping the rain
out”• Money: “Baseline costs”• Schedule: “When can it be
done?”
LIGHTHOUSE ADVISORS
What affects the costs?
Subjective factors• Function
– Program, planning
• Envelop – Design, image, materials
• Money– Changes, mistakes
• Schedule
LIGHTHOUSE ADVISORS
Where is the waste?
• Within each process• Lack of shared clear definition• Continued fragmentation• Within the handoffs• Lack of empathy among parties• Lack of common language
(communications, attitudes, translation, agendas)

The result?
LIGHTHOUSE ADVISORS
Future: Thinking and acting together
• Major decisions made collectively at the beginning.
• Concurrent thinking at all times.• Coordinated actions based on a
common language.• Work product upstream affected
by needs downstream.

Future: the Definition Phase
• Define Intent– What is the problem?– What’s required to solve the problem? – What are the appropriate solutions?– What are the goals?
• Define Parameters– Programmatic– Operational– Building Performance– Image– Communication protocols

Implementation
• Establish A/E and C alliance• Assemble joint prototype team• Identify building sector• Create models and measures• Find best candidate client• Establish three-way alliance
LIGHTHOUSE ADVISORS
Implementation
• Define 3 sequential projects• Apply model to Project 1• Review/test/evaluate/revise• Apply revised model to Project 2• Review/test/evaluate/revise• Apply revised model to Project 3
LIGHTHOUSE ADVISORS
Which industries?
• Pharmaceuticals• Hi-Tech R&D and Manufacturing• Telecommunications• Schools• Laboratories
“Position ourselves in those industries in which we can be best in class.”
LIGHTHOUSE ADVISORS
Where do we find the 50%?
• Uneducated owners.• Polarized participants.• No clarity, buy-in or leveraged
knowledge from the start.• Fragmented process; hand-offs rather
than linkages.• Lack of empathy.• Redundant work.• Attitude
“Reduce project delivery time by 50%.”
LIGHTHOUSE ADVISORS
How do we attack the “50%”?
• Educate the Owner• Collectively make all major decisions up
front; develop immersive imaging tools and real time relational databases.
• Develop information flow linkages and common language.
• Structure upstream work-product on the basis of downstream needs.
• Cross-hire senior staff
