Lean Thinking and Tools is basically common sense and the ability to challenge what happens. Is what we are doing really creating value for those we are supposed to serve, i.e. customers, staff, owners and society? A value creating organization has other demands on the operation than what is usually the case today.
"Why didn’t we as leaders see these things earlier? Why haven’t we stimulated discussion with those who really know how the operation works? Through this process we are less blind to defects on our own backyard; we are beginning to see how it actually works and are getting ideas about how to improve the processes. Most leaders would want that kind of culture!"
