Keen to Be Lean – CFO Magazine – December 2009 Issue – CFO.com
I'll share the above link with a little commentary, for now, a nice overview of Lean Healthcare for CFO Magazine. I helped the writer with research and ended up being quoted a few times. No misquoting, defect-free!
There are mentions of several great Lean organizations, including ThedaCare and Denver Health. Our friend Bob Emiliani was quoted, too.
I think the article did a nice job of focusing on quality and employee engagement and not using Lean as a layoff-based cost-cutting strategy (surprising for a magazine for Chief Financial Officers?).
Thoughts on the article? Reactions?

Let’s build a culture of continuous improvement and psychological safety—together. If you're a leader aiming for lasting change (not just more projects), I help organizations:
- Engage people at all levels in sustainable improvement
- Shift from fear of mistakes to learning from them
- Apply Lean thinking in practical, people-centered ways
