In this episode I talk with Rebecca Snelling. I wanted to avoid talking about Lean Construction, but our shared passion for the ideas, principals and concepts of Lean were too strong. This is Part 1 of a two part conversation. In the end we reference Lean Construction often, so I will add a third part of our conversation where we go in more depth explaining the principals or Lean.
