Lean: The Basics and a Live Roundtable
Heard about Lean and wonder what all the fuss is about? Or maybe you’re well aware but curious to compare notes with others on the journey? This two-part event – brought to you by COAA and the Lean Construction Institute (LCI) – might be for you.
Register for this live discussion and you’ll receive a link to a 90-minute LCI webinar on Lean basics. Watch that video – either to learn or brush up on Lean fundamentals – then come to the live roundtable to talk it out with peers. The discussion will be facilitated by three experienced Lean practitioners who are also instructors for COAA’s “Lean For Owners” Owner Training Institute® class.
