This ad in the Minneapolis/St. Paul airport caught my eye today (sorry for the blur, I was on a moving walkway…)

This is probably not to be confused with law firms that are using Lean principles (as I've written about before).

Yeah, I remember seeing that same sign along the moving walkway passing through the Minneapolis airport. It was in July 2006, so they have been making that claim for a while now.
