Learn in Practice

LCI Communities of Practice (CoPs) connect Lean practitioners in their local communities for hands-on learning, real conversation, and steady professional growth. Each CoP reflects the needs of its local market while staying connected to LCI’s broader national network.

WHAT HAPPENS AT A CoP

  • Lean Coffee (informal, agenda-free Lean discussions)
  • Lean Learning Series (focused 60–90 minute sessions)
  • LCI Education Courses
  • Gemba Walks (see Lean applied in the field)
  • Congress Presentations & Project Case Studies
  • Networking Socials
