Our concept:

hybrid.interactive.inspiring

"Best of both worlds" - according to this principle we have created a unique concept for the Lean Construction training "2553".

As the only provider our training is held in digital form as well as in presence. Thus you as a participant can experience the first two training blocks flexibly from your project or residence, without large additional travel expenditure.

The training conclusion and a simulation we will accomplish in a 2-Tagesveranstaltung finally in presence in Stuttgart. Despite the digital part, personal exchange and networking will not be neglected!

Behind the concept and the implementation is a cooperation of the consulting companies PLACE Strategy GmbH and Lumics GmbH & Co. KG.

PLACE, as a specialist for the digitalization and implementation of lean systems in the construction industry, brings in particular the know-how from the construction industry and its digitalization. Lumics, as a joint venture between McKinsey and Lufthansa, is the specialist for lean methods of all kinds and has been implementing them for years in an interdisciplinary manner in a wide variety of industries.

Both partners are experts in the field of training and education and now accompany the transformation of the construction industry in cooperation.

Participant comments:


"I have already dealt intensively with the topic of Lean Construction before the training. Nevertheless, I was able to learn an extreme amount in the workshop!"

Eva Roubal

"What I liked most was the hands-on practice, which makes you realize and understand what it's really about afterwards, which is often more difficult in theoretical lectures."

Thomas Künkel

Mörk GmbH & Co. KG


"Through the practical experience of the speakers, you get another completely different insight and understand things differently than if you just read them in a book."
