The magic is in our ability to make hidden values visible. LEAN APPROACH Herrero Project VIP™ is our leadership process for discovering collective value to define project success, then delivering that value exceptionally well throughout a project's entire lifecycle. The magic is in our ability to make hidden values visible. We then align those values, behaviors and processes while blurring the traditional line between owners, designers and builders. ‍ THE HERRERO PROJECT VIP™ RELIES ON THREE PILLARS. Project Management Plan enables the right thinking and empowers the right people. Collective Value Discovery™ enables us to a) understand the value system held by a project's customers and b) develop the True North Indicators to guide each teams’ direction. Continuous Improvement systems help us a) understand how closely we are following this value system and b) develop measures that drive us to success. We teach Project VIP™ to our industry partners and at universities because we are builders Obsessed with Value Creation and believe it’s a better way to build.
