LCI Community of Practice

Northern California
Welcome to the LCI Northern California Community of Practice. Our community serves Lean practitioners from the Bay Area to the Central Valley. Currently we hold monthly events. Most events are in-person. Events vary in scale, format, and geography to offer a wide variation of value to our community.

Our Impact

Our Purpose
As you know, the design and construction industry is transforming into a more collaborative culture through the application of Lean principles and integration project teams. Our goal is to create an environment where owners, architects, designers, contractors, trade partners, suppliers, academics and industry organizations can all come together to share, learn, and explore Lean principles and processes with a common goal of improving our industry and delivering value to our Owners and community.

Get Involved
Each December and February our Core Group meets to outline our monthly event topics that are inspired by LCI’s mission to lead the building industry in transforming it practices and culture through Lean implementation and to ultimately achieve a healthy and thriving building industry delivering outstanding project outcomes every time for everyone.
For any general questions and/or comments, please contact CoP Leader, Tom Martin. If you have a topic that you would like to present, please contact CoP Vice/Events Leader, Glen Sullivan. For CoP Annual Sponsorship opportunities, please contact Sponsorship Lead, Juan Restrepo.
