LCI Communities of Practice

Overview

LCI was founded to develop and disseminate knowledge regarding the management of work and projects. The practices flowing from this research often appear counterintuitive. They call for a new common sense, a shared understanding in the community -- where else, how else could sense become common? LCI Communities of Practice (CoP) are where this emerging community meets and a sense is forged. At their best, local Communities of Practice provide a meeting ground where people can gather, learn, connect, and explore the ramifications of these ideas both for their own organizations and the larger industry.

Self forming local Communities of Practice have emerged as regional forums where people meet, share experience, learn and connect. These Communities of Practice help owners, architects and designers, engineers, contractors, labor, specialty contractors, and suppliers understand and find their way in this new world. The invitation is open to all project participants to meet together as local user groups to explore and develop these ideas as they work together.

Starting a Community of Practice (CoP)

To start a Community of Practice, LCI asks that those who are interested first form an Forming Group. This Forming Group will determine how their region would benefit from the formation of a Community of Practice. If the Forming Group provides a compelling case that justifies Community of Practice formation, then LCI will ask the Forming Group to propose a Community of Practice mission that focuses the Community of Practice and supports LCI’s mission. With an agreed upon Community of Practice mission in hand, the Forming Group will develop more detailed region-based goals and objectives. Then, LCI asks the Forming Group to strategically plan Community of Practice actions and events that would enable the Community of Practice to achieve its goals and objectives. Ideally, the Forming Group will use various lean principles and techniques to guide this strategic planning effort.

With a strategic plan in place, LCI will then ask the Forming Group to form the Core Group to lead the Community of Practice. Core Groups are responsible for ensuring that Community of Practice activities and events: (1) are fiscally responsible, (2) maintain programmatic integrity (i.e., they support the missions of LCI and the Community of Practice), and (3) are value-adding, that is non-commercial. We want to focus on topics that help members deepen their understanding of lean construction through knowledge and/or skill development. This can be tricky at times so some care needs be taken.

Ideally, a Core Group represents a cross-section of project participants (e.g., owners, designers, and builders) and a cross-section of companies at different stages in the lean journey. After accepting the Community of Practice’s Core Group, LCI will work closely with each Core Group to turn their strategic plan into a reality.
