Kelly Meade

Lean Journey Program Manager

Kelly works with Owners, engineers, administrators, field staff, architects, executives, contractors, and engineers to bring out their wisdom and ideas to make the shift from traditional to Lean design and construction. As Haley & Aldrich’s Lean Journey Program Manager and a Lean Master Black Belt, she works to "operationalize behavior change" by bringing her unique perspective of business operations, Lean, and management consulting experience to the flow of design and construction work. She develops leaders at all levels to improve their potential through hands-on coaching and training of people from the field to the shop floor to the C-suite. As a die-hard systems thinker, she believes in order to make the leap from early Lean adopters to a mature majority of Lean thinkers, we have to own our personal contribution to the team's shared success, and own our own contribution to waste on every project.
