“Are we on programme?” is often the wrong question.

A project can look green in the schedule while the work on the ground is still not ready, not coordinated, or not capable of being handed over as promised. In this LCI webinar, Derek Sinnott speaks with Kevin McHugh, Managing Director of McHugh Lean Construction, about why large projects miss handovers even when the programme suggests everything is on track — and how the Last Planner System can create a more reliable link between the schedule and production reality. What you’ll hear about: • Why projects often fail through variability, fragmented interfaces and late decisions rather than a lack of activity • How the Last Planner System moves teams from optimistic dates to verified readiness, constraint removal and reliable weekly commitments • How digital tools can scale collaborative planning across large, complex projects without weakening the conversations and behaviours that make Lean work • A live Irish energy-centre case study where Plan Percent Complete increased from 12% to 64% by defining what “ready” really meant and surfacing constraints earlier Speakers: • Derek Sinnott, Lean Construction Ireland, in conversation with: • Kevin McHugh, Managing Director, McHugh Lean Construction If your programme is showing green but the team is still asking whether the next phase is genuinely ready, this webinar offers a practical way to close the gap between reported progress and reliable delivery.
