Regardless of the goals or challenges at hand, this team serves as an extension of the client, engaging at the earliest possible opportunity to cultivate a highly collaborative and inclusive solutions-oriented process. For example, incorporating a lean methodology approach with a manufacturing project, the team will focus on the process, as well as life cycle costs, siting, building and the individual support spaces.
Burns & McDonnell always considers and evaluates cutting-edge technologies in support of solutions that match the client’s needs. Velocity builds upon conversations, fleshes out ideas and develops enduring and resilient long-range solutions.
The Velocity process values time and is, consequently, short and strategic. Engagement most often lasts no more than a few days, and owners and stakeholders are involved collectively no more than 12 hours in working sessions. Clients can expect numerous tangible results. For example:
- Identifying and defining what success looks like and clarifying potential project requirements.
- Lean-driven concepts will be developed and options and cost opinions discussed.
At the conclusion of the program, a road map for a corresponding project roll out will be provided. With a clearly defined solution, clients will have the strategy and team already in place to bring their vision to life.
