LCI Community of Practice
Nashville, TN
Welcome to the LCI Nashville Community of Practice (CoP). We are a new CoP that is looking to leverage the power of collaboration through key events in the community. Our core group leadership is made up of owners, architects, GC’s and trade partners making us a very diverse group. We strive to be the hub of design and construction professionals who have an interest in transforming the design and construction industry through Lean principles.
Get Involved!
The Nashville CoP is a newer but fast-growing community of Lean design and construction professionals! If you’re in the Nashville area with an interest in Lean (even if you have no knowledge or experience), we’d love to hear from you. Please enjoy this message from Nashville CoP Chair Denis Stroup about the value of getting involved with our community and how you can help.
