LCI St. Louis Community of Practice

Welcome to the LCI St. Louis Community of Practice.  Located in the heart of the Midwest, our mission is to connect A/E firms, contractors, trade partners, owners, and other stakeholders to transform the design and construction industry through Lean practices.  We are committed to pushing the envelope of what is possible through innovation, continuous learning, and collaboration.  Our ultimate goal is to set the benchmark for project value delivery in our industry.

As part of the Lean Construction Institute, we serve as a local extension reaching out to design and construction stakeholders by:

• Advancing Lean knowledge and understanding
• Providing academic, applied and experiential learning opportunities that engage members at any point in their development of Lean mastery
• Building a Lean network to better connect people and ideas
