About this Event


AI Meets Lean: Exploring the Future of Process Improvement

Join us for a special edition of Lean Coffee Indy as we welcome Justin Fischgrund, founder of Fischgrund Consulting and a nationally recognized speaker on artificial intelligence, strategy, and transformation. Justin will kick off the morning with a dynamic presentation exploring the intersection of AI and Lean thinking, including:

  • What AI really is (in plain English)
  • Key benefits and risks of AI in modern workplaces
  • How Lean principles can strengthen, guide, and even fix AI implementation
  • How AI can enhance Lean tools like A3 problem-solving, facilitation, and synthesis

Whether you're excited about AI or anxious about how it fits into your Lean world, this session will help demystify the tech and ground it in practical, improvement-driven applications.

After Justin’s talk, we’ll move into our signature Lean Coffee format—open, breakout-style conversations where YOU choose the topics. From change management to continuous improvement, come ready to bring your questions, insights, and curiosity.

Lean Coffee Breakout Discussions
Host: The Green Dot Group

Info: In true Lean Coffee fashion, we’ll break into small groups for an open, agenda-less conversation driven by you. Using a simple Kanban board format (To Do, Doing, Done), each group will identify topics, timebox discussions, and move through items based on interest and value. This is a chance to learn from each other, tackle real challenges, and surface practical ideas—from leadership and culture to process design and change management. No slides, no hierarchy—just meaningful dialogue among fellow improvement nerds.
