The efforts originated from the Iowa Business Council, which is made up of the CEO's of the 20 largest companies in Iowa. Considerable improvements have beeen made in "paperwork" processes such as permitting, applications, and routinely scheduled work by the Lean advocates within both the business (on-loan resources) and government communities. Though the governor was not the initiator of the activity, he was certainly supportive, to the point that we are now concerned about the future of Lean at the statehouse due to the recent change in the governor's office.
