The 20th Annual LCI Congress program is specifically designed for your leadership role in the industry. Each year, LCI Congress brings together owners, trade partners, members of the design community, general contractors and other Lean professionals to get inspired, learn from Lean success stories and build relationships, expand networks and foster collaboration.

• Owners: As an owner, you drive the industry demand by promoting Lean projects and supporting designers and trade partners in their productivity, development and execution. By attending LCI Congress, you will meet other successful owners who have embraced Lean design and construction and gain a broader insight from their perspectives on the process. Join peers from across the industry and gather ideas you can implement to take your next project to a new level of collaboration.

• Design Community: Architects and designers can holistically transform the culture of the industry by being engaged throughout the entire project. At LCI Congress, you will hear other Lean in design practitioners enforce the message that Lean isn’t just about cross-cutting velocity – it‘s about enhancing projects and ensuring on-time delivery without compromising value to the owner. As a member of the design community, you will leave LCI Congress with the latest Lean and integrated project planning tools and techniques needed to achieve design excellence and guide your team with sound decision-making methods.

• General Contractors: General contractors who cultivate a collaborative team culture with owners, designers and trade partners at the onset of the project experience more frequent on-time, on-budget delivery. At LCI Congress, you will hear honest, transparent stories of success and failures from other project team members to help you start or advance your Lean culture transformation. Bring back valuable takeaways you can apply in the field to eliminate waste, create reliable flow and improve safety.

• Trade Partners: Trade partners and all Lean stakeholders play a key role in universally changing the culture of the industry. You have the power to encourage collaboration and place a priority on a Lean culture of continuous improvement within your project team or across your entire organization. Attending LCI Congress will equip you with realistic ideas and goals to apply in the field that will immediately promote safer, more efficient and more enjoyable work environments.

• Lean Professionals: As a Lean professional, you and your high-performing teams know that the more collaboration there is within the Lean community, the more effective each moving part can be. During LCI Congress, you will have the opportunity to collaborate with other professionals from all facets of the Lean design and construction community and expand your network, ensuring inspiration across the board. Learn from Lean thought-leaders and walk away with ideas you can begin implementing immediately.
