Lean Coffee

What is Lean Coffee?

Lean Coffee ™ is a structured, but agenda-less meeting. Participants gather, build an agenda, Iowa Lean Consortium Lean Coffeeand begin talking. Agendas are democratically generated to produce directed and productive conversations. The Iowa Lean Consortium holds ILC Lean Coffees inspired by the original Lean Coffee ™.

 

History of Lean Coffee

Lean Coffee™ started in Seattle in 2009. Jim Benson and Jeremy Lightsmith wanted to start a group that would discuss Lean techniques in knowledge work – but didn’t want to start a whole new cumbersome organization with steering committees, speakers, and such. 

 

ILC Lean Coffee

We currently host virtual Lean Coffees monthly via WebEx on the 3rd Friday of the month from 9:00-10:15 am. Lean Coffees are member-only events beginning January of 2021.
