Lean in Design Forum abstract submissions close today, Feb 5!
Share your story and help drive Lean transformation at the Lean in Design Forum this April in Chicago!
The Lean in Design Forum abstract submissions are due TODAY, Thurs., Feb. 5.
Additionally, we’re honored to welcome Kyle Majchrowski, author of Powerful Conversations, as this year’s closing keynote speaker.
High-performing teams don’t happen by chance. They’re built through clarity, trust, and meaningful human connection. In Powerful Conversations: How Team Clarity Creates Performance, Kyle leads an interactive, people-first session that explores what truly drives success on projects and across organizations. Drawing on more than 25 years of experience building construction project delivery teams as an owner, he shares relatable stories and practical insights that help teams move beyond coordination and into real connection.
If you care about building teams that perform with confidence, alignment, and intention, this is a closing session you won’t want to miss!
