Covid-19 continues to have a dramatic impact on the way we
work in our industry. Unsurprisingly, it has also had an effect
on how Lean thinking and practices are being deployed
on Jacobs’ projects worldwide. This case study – which is
anonymised for confidentiality reasons – shares some of the
approaches and solutions that Jacobs is using to minimise
disruption to the deployment of Lean thinking
and tools on our projects, whilst also continuing to optimise
their benefits. It is worth noting that while Covid-19 has
caused disruption, there have been some positive aspects,
primarily with the shift towards remote working accelerating
the integration of digital tools and ways of working.
