Instructor Program
LCI Instructors
LCI Instructors are key to the LCI Immersive Education Program and serve as a network of expertise in educating the Lean community and supporting the continuous improvement of LCI education.
Only LCI Instructors may teach LCI education courses because they are committed to upholding the Conditions of Satisfaction (CoS) and have been properly vetted by the LCI based on:
- LCI corporate member status
- LCI Community of Practice (CoP) involvement
- Experience implementing and teaching Lean tools and processes

“I have been teaching LCI courses for a couple of years now, and not only do I get the opportunity to meet and interact with great people in our industry, but I always come away learning more from the experiences and interactions in the workshops. The energy to learn and willingness to challenge the status quo reinforces my motivation and passion for Lean and how it can make a positive impact in our industry”
–Katie Wells, Director of Lean Construction, Brasfield & Gorrie
The Meaning of Being an LCI Instructor
