LCI Community of Practice
Minnesota
The Minnesota CoP brings together the most forward thinking and respected design, construction, and supply chain and professionals in our in region.
Through effective lean leadership we are creating a “buzz” within our community, an excitement, an infectious desire far beyond our core group for a sustainable local lean culture. We are creating a rising tide that will lift all the boats in our local construction community.
