This Year’s Theme: People, A.I., & Lean

Lean has always been about developing people, improving flow, and solving problems at the source. As AI changes the way organizations work, Lean leaders have an opportunity to use new technology in ways that strengthen problem solving, decision-making, and respect for people. 

At the Northeast Lean Conference, you’ll explore how organizations are combining Lean thinking, people development, and AI to create more effective, human-centered continuous improvement.
