Click Here for the Blog: Reason #2: Lack of Communication

I have been working with Larry Rubrich, from WCM Associates, and author of the recent book “How to Prevent Lean Implementation Failures”.

With his permission, I have created a blog for people to share their “Lean Failures” stories and to discuss them online. We're experimenting with the blog format to see how this works out. For now, “Reason #1” is listed on the blog. I will add more details for the other 9 Reasons over the next few weeks and will announce it here.

    1. Lack of committment from the top or top leadership has changed and the lean initiative isn’t understood by the new guard.

    2. Lack of resources to support and sustain lean results.

    3. Career path limitation. Far too many talented lean folks find themselves branded as “specialists” and are left off the replacement succession planning. Ironically, the lean person should be the most logical candidate to move througout the organization based on their wide-angle exposure, strategy, and influencing skillls…
