Since it is inefficient for these specialists to be individually responsible for obtaining the input they need from others, project team leaders often rely on coordination meetings to facilitate the exchange of requests and information between specialists. Such coordination meetings are critical to lean projects because they provide a framework for clarifying and prioritizing stakeholder values, design and construction objectives, and constraints to design and construction work. To help the AEC industry improve its management of coordination meetings, we describe 12 meeting facilitation techniques used to improve coordination of design development on a current hospital project. These techniques enable project team leaders to view and manage coordination meetings as production systems and thus learn how to better manage the decision making process required for design development. We want this paper to inspire others to share their facilitation techniques and begin investigating their effectiveness to improve efforts in “coordinating the coordination meetings.” KW - Meeting Facilitation KW - Coordination Meetings KW - Healthcare Design Management KW - Lean Leadership KW - Big Room KW - Oobeya L1 - https://www.iglc.net/papers/details/852/pdf UR - https://www.iglc.net/papers/details/852 DB - IGLC.net LA - English N1 - Export date: 04 October 2026 ER -
