Improvement is difficult when teams are constantly reacting to disruption. Frequent interruptions, shifting priorities, and unreliable handoffs make it harder to identify patterns and build consistency. Lean teams understand that stable workflows are not about rigidity — they create the conditions needed for learning, collaboration, and continuous improvement.

When flow becomes more predictable, teams can spend less energy recovering from chaos and more energy improving how work gets done.

What’s one change your team made that created more consistency or stability in the way work flows through a project?

Building a successful Lean career takes more than learning the tools. It requires practice, perspective, and ongoing exposure to how Lean is applied across real teams and projects. That’s where LCI’s Communities of Practice (CoPs) can accelerate Lean growth to make a meaningful difference.

Read our latest blog to explore key insights from five CoP leaders and discover how getting involved in a CoP can support your growth and deepen your Lean journey.

After exhibiting in and sponsoring more than 30 AEC events in 2025, Doxel is doubling down at the 2026 LCI Congress as a Signature Sponsor, Gold Sponsor, Golf Sponsor, and Choice Exhibitor!

Here’s what David Brody, Field Marketing Manager at Doxel had to say about what makes LCI Congress such a standout event.

“2025 was my first LCI Congress, and it immediately felt like an event I should have attended long before.

What stood out most at LCI Congress was the Lean community itself. The conversations were thoughtful, curious, and at times challenging, in the best way. I spoke with people who were enthusiastic, skeptical, and deeply engaged, and being pushed to explain how what we’re building at Doxel fits within Lean thinking made the experience even more meaningful.

The exhibit hall was equally memorable. Vendors supported one another, real relationships forming quickly, and a collaborative environment rather than transactional. The quality of the conversations and connections made it easy to understand why so many exhibitors speak so highly of LCI Congress. You could feel the momentum!”

As an industry, how can we deliver better project outcomes without burning out our people?

2026 LCI Congress Co-Chair Matt Bleakley, Division Vice President at Whiting-Turner Contracting Company, puts it plainly: “In today's construction climate, teams are being pushed from every direction, with tighter timelines, leaner budgets, and higher expectations.

LCI Congress is where the conversation shifts. When the stakes are high, collaboration isn't optional; it's essential.

We're proud to have Whiting-Turner as the Featured Safety Sponsor, reinforcing the importance of protecting both project outcomes and the people behind them.

At the end of the day, this is a people industry and the best solutions come when we build them together.

If you’re feeling the pressure and looking for better ways to deliver without burning out your teams, you won’t want to miss this event!

Teams often feel pressure to move quickly, but speed without alignment can create rework, conflicting assumptions, and costly late-stage changes. Lean approaches like Set-Based Design help teams explore options collaboratively, narrow decisions intentionally, and build shared understanding before committing too early.

When teams align around goals, constraints, and possibilities up front, they create space for better decisions and more reliable outcomes later in the project lifecycle.

What’s one way your team has improved alignment early in a project that helped reduce downstream surprises or redesign?

Lean practices are evolving quickly.

Getting involved with an LCI Community of Practice (CoP) is one of the most valuable ways to deepen your Lean learning and expand your professional network!

LCI CoPs bring together professionals across design and construction to work through real challenges, in real time.

This isn't Lean in theory or one-off events. CoPs keep the conversation going, strengthening how work gets done in local communities over time.

From Lean Coffees and Gemba Walks to project-based discussions and learning sessions, there's space here to learn, connect and grow alongside others doing the work.
