Lean Innovation Forum 2017

The year 2017 marked the first year we organized the Lean Innovation Forum outside of Switzerland – in Madrid, Spain. More precisely, in the auditorium of Toyota España. Over 70 participants from more than 40 organizations have been learning and sharing their lean innovation experiences over the three days (24-26 Oct 2017), where the first and third day held various workshops run by both practitioners and academics, and the main conferences happened on the second day.

THE FORUM

The Forum took place on 25th October 2017 in the auditorium of Toyota España where participants had the opportunity to hear 14 exciting presentations and a one hour panel discussion with 5 panelists (3 practitioners from industry and 2 academics) on the topic of ͞Lean product development impact and challenges in the automotive sector͟. Speakers that came from a variety of companies and industries, and academics from internationally recognized universities shared their success stories and trends from their lean thinking initiatives in innovation and product development.
