Todd Zabelle Talks With Dick Bayer On The Lean Construction Blog’s Podcast

Todd Zabelle was among the original founders of the Lean Construction Institute. Professor Glenn Ballard worked with him briefly at Pacific Contracting back in the ’90s. Todd has spent his career thinking about enhancing productivity in design and construction and founded the Project Production Institute to provide a forum for like-minded individuals looking to transform the industry.

He recently spoke to Dick Bayer on the Lean Construction Blog’s Podcast about how to modernize construction. In this episode, Todd delves into the history of project delivery, including the Three Eras and the existence of a significant gap in the current framework. By viewing a project as a production system and applying Operations Science, project professionals have seen results including increased competitive advantage in what they do, billions of dollars in cost savings and new revenue generation opportunities through quicker delivery of assets.
