Both Bernita and Rebecca date their lean design and construction journey from 2008. Bernita at the legendary Texhoma Project and Rebeca at the California Prison Healthcare Receivership Program. Both had inklings before then. But they have both been masterful at continually improving the cycle of design and construction. So much so that each was recognized by being named Chair of the LCI Board.Watch episode on Youtube.

Episode 5 - Rebecca Snelling & Bernita Biekmann : The Queens of Lean

Joining me for Episode #265 of the podcast is Bernita Beikmann, AIA, EDAC, LSSBB, a Principal and Director of Lean Strategy at HKS, an international architecture firm. Bernita is originally from Kansas and has a Bachelor of Architecture from Kansas State University and a Certificate in Regional and Community Planning. She moved to Dallas in 1996 and has been employed by HKS, Inc in Dallas since that time. We first crossed paths when we had the opportunity to work together on a project for Riley Hospital for Children in Indianapolis to work with staff and leaders on designing parts of a new patient tower. You can read a bit about that work here. I hope you enjoy our conversation.
