Project Success Begins at Lean in Design Forum!
Design Forum isn’t solely a design conference. It’s a decision-making forum for early alignment during project validation. This year’s program centers on design as a driver of project success using Lean design practices that improve workflows and strengthen decision-making.
You will learn proven tools for target value delivery (TVD) and set-based design and leave energized by smaller scaled networking with industry leaders including:
✔️ Aligning stakeholders earlier
✔️ Making more confident decisions
✔️ Improving workflows and handoffs
✔️ Reducing late-stage surprises
✔️ Strengthening cost control and value focus
Sessions feature real-world tools and tactics across healthcare, education, manufacturing, and complex facilities. Join us this April to bring alignment forward in your projects!

Celebrating LCI’s Female Certificants
This Women in Construction Week, we celebrate and recognize the incredible women who are shaping and strengthening the built environment every day.
A special acknowledgment goes to the 25 LCI-CPC and LCI-CPD certified practitioners who have dedicated years to advancing project delivery, improving collaboration, and driving better outcomes across the industry.
Your leadership, expertise, and commitment continue to move design and construction forward. Thank you for the meaningful impact you make and for raising the standard for the future of our industry.
Lean Pulse: Make Work Visible
When work stays hidden, problems stay hidden too. Bringing flow, queues, and handoffs into the open gives teams a chance to learn faster, adapt sooner, and prevent small issues from becoming major disruptions.
