Value Added Proposition:

LCI chapters enable practitioners from lean-oriented owners through supply chain partners to meet and exchange lessons learned from the use of lean principles and techniques, both internally and across the capital project design / delivery supply chain.  During the meeting, not only will you hear both design and construction perspectives on Lean Construction from leading practitioners, you will discuss them as well with other meeting attendees.  Your participation and feedback for future chapter events are fundamental to the success of this newly formed chapter, so we hope you will join us!
