Welcome to the LCI Southern New England Community of Practice (CoP)!
We are a community of owners, contractors, trade partners, architects, and designers with various levels of Lean experience who are passionate about applying lean principles and practices with a common goal of improving project outcomes and delivering value to our Owners. We repeatedly ask “why” to get to root causes and are not afraid to step outside of our comfort zones and try new and different approaches to increase stakeholder satisfaction and project delivery value. We also recognize that we are much stronger as collaborators than as separate thinkers, so we welcome your participation. We are seeking A/E/C/O industry professionals who want to join us “to find a better way”. In the spirit of continuous improvement, we are eager to learn from your experiences and share ours.
Our CoP regional focus spans from Connecticut to Western Massachusetts. If you would like to become involved in our CoP or to request specific topics of interest for future CoP events, please contact us at SouthernNECoP@gmail.com.

Design Community – your involvement in the beginning of the project planning process is crucial to saving the team from delivering projects late and with less value. This is also where Lean in design can help! Lean methodologies are helping design and construction companies in the U.S. and around the world become more efficient while increasing client satisfaction, cutting costs and eliminating re-work.
The 2018 Lean in Design Forum will address common struggles LCI members encounter such as:
The annual 2018 LCI/P2SL/AIA Lean in Design Forum is the event where designers come together to learn about and advance Lean methodologies. Industry-leading design practitioners will present on how Lean techniques free up time for creative decision-making and innovative problem-solving on current topics affecting the design community.
2018 Lean in Design Forum attendees will find immense value in:

Join us at F&F Mechanical for a Lean Brew to learn and support each other in our Lean endeavors! Take part in an open conversation in a safe, small and low-pressure environment about the topics that are relevant to you, our Lean community. We want to hear about the problems you are solving, the issues you want to solve, and lessons you’ve learned on your professional journey. No previous Lean experience is required.
Participants from cross functional roles as designers, constructors, owners, trades partners, and associations propose discussion topics around any subject about which they want to learn – THERE ARE NO IRRELEVANT DISCUSSION TOPICS! Come as you are and be ready to learn.
Participate in the Marshmallow Challenge and learn how to collaborate as a team. It is a fun game that encourages teams to experience innovation, creativity, collaboration, as well as the value of early prototyping and incremental delivery.

Pop-Up DoJo – Developing Lean Leadership at Your Workplace
Dojo is a global cultural shift towards Lean leadership at all organizational levels. It is a practice-based mindful development of yourself, your relationships with your peers, colleagues, and clients. Learn lean leadership skills necessary to improve the success of Lean initiatives, while avoiding the constant fighting of the urgent fires of the day.
Objectives:
Hal Macomber did his first production system project in 1974 followed by a two-year stint w/ Bank of Boston in operations research. Studying quality and just-in-time production in Japan in the mid-1980’s began the formal intro to Lean. Along the way, Hal was introduced to the work of Fernando Flores — first the study of the language-action perspective, then ontological redesign. This knowledge coupled to Lean allowed him and his collaborators to make very large scale organizational interventions.
Thank you to our host:
