Lean Construction Institute (LCI) | Lean Project Design & Delivery

Lean Construction Institute is a membership-based organization whose mission is to transform a broken design and construction industry through Lean thinking, tools, and techniques. We strive to re-integrate our very siloed industry to create exceptional value for all project stakeholders. Our programs include: development of research products targeted to help companies implement Lean more effectively; learning programs to help answer the “why” and the “how” of Lean implementation; and unique national and regional events to promote Lean learning and networking across the industry. We encourage you to check out these and other LCI programs among the topics listed below:
