New Value EquationTo deliver for our customers with this big challenge, we need

to capitalize on the 3 essential elements of the new value equation:

∘People∘Modeling∘Lean Thinking

Let’s face it: Construction in 2012

PEOPLELISTENING

TRUSTCOMMITMENTS

VALUEFLOWWASTE

13

The people element can be described as:Coordinated action springing from effective communication,

which in turn leads to trust among performers.

People

14

The second part of the new value equationModeling is the mastery of Building Information Modeling

technologies that now allow us to build in the virtual world of computers before we go out to the job site to construct the pieces physically.

We can call this “Virtual Design & Construction”

Modeling

16

The third part of the new value equationLean is deep and systematic thinking focused on

understanding value in order to eliminate waste.It is a shift in focus to how all the parts affect each other, as

opposed to the traditional practice of trying to drive down costs and schedule for each scope of work.
