However, the journey seemed to shift to an "inch deep, mile wide". We were not digging deeper into Lean at our initial facilities, as we were attempting to facilitate Lean in too many other areas of the organization. This has been a topic of discussion recently. We've suffered in our implementation, as our Lean leadership was spread too thin.<BR/><BR/>Stick with Jamie's theory and DO NOT become inch-deep, mile-wide. Have a 'pilot' or 'learning' area (or more, depending on the size of your organization) and always strive to keep that/those areas ahead of everyone else. Then bring everyone there to learn, hands-on.Mike T.http://www.blogger.com/profile/04875619861790561911noreply@blogger.com
