Tips for Abstract Success

Content
  • Align with the 2026 Congress theme.
  • Clearly identify a challenge(s) and provide a solution(s) for attendees.
  • Provide robust learning examples and takeaways for attendees.
  • Discuss challenges and failures that were overcome by using Lean thinking and tools; leverage lessons learned.
  • Identify waste reduction or elimination.
  • Emphasize specific Lean tools for success that can be applied right away.
  • Congress presentations are not intended to be commercials or advertisements for specific products/services. For example, a sales pitch for a software product your team may have utilized should not be the sole focus of your presentation.
  • Simplify your message:
    • Provide in-depth focus the core elements, concepts or practices implemented versus covering many topics.
    • Please avoid duplicating phraseology with your submission.
  • Include clear visuals and video.
Presentation Team
  • Feature speakers from cross-functional roles, i.e. owners, designers and trade partners.
  • Have at least one LCI corporate member speaking.
