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!

PLACE Strategy is behind the concept and implementation.

PLACE is a specialist in the digitalization and implementation of lean systems in the construction industry and has particular expertise in the construction industry and its digitalization.

We are experts in training and education and are now supporting the transformation of the construction industry.

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."
