Construction teams rarely reach the pinnacles of high performance, and comparing construction jobsites to well-drilled, progressive, and flowing manufacturing production lines, we all recognize the work the industry has in front of it.

According to the book Flatlined by Mark C. Deluzio, 98% of ‘Lean Transformations’ either fail or do not achieve the desired results. The partnership between Touchplan and Project7 will help organizations bridge the productivity gap and embrace digital technology to enhance performance. The Touchplan/Project 7 collaboration can protect their investment through robust implementation and application of the underpinning principles of Lean, coupled with our vast experience in implementing methodologies like The Last Planner System®, Takt Planning [Line Balance], and Performance Management Systems.
We are excited to connect our clients with Touchplan’s performance insights and inspire Leaders and Site Teams to use this data to collaborate, challenge one another and create improvements to drive greater productivity and marginal performance gains.
“Working with consulting firms like Project 7 is an exciting proposition,” said Jimmy Suppelsa, Chief Revenue Officer for Touchplan. “We have a tool based on a process that is proven to improve project performance, and they have the roadmap to help teams implement technology and processes.
