WHO WE ARE The Colorado Lean Network (CLN) works to inspire, develop, and support improvement practitioners to better serve Colorado organizations and communities by connecting existing and aspiring practitioners to the right mentors, models, and resources.  We believe that rather than competing with each other, the people of Colorado are better served when Lean professionals come together to network, share ideas, celebrate successes, and learn from failures. We are a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization and, as such, part or all of your donation may be tax deductible. Our 500 members are executives, managers, and continuous improvement practitioners from government, healthcare, manufacturing, and financial/service industries across Colorado.
