To call it #Lean, you must have respect for people (mutual trust & developing people) and ongoing continuous improvement (#kaizen)

I might play the role of the old grump at a #leanstartup event. Raise your hand if you know this is based on Toyota. Whippersnappers.

.@BobEmiliani Part of what makes @ericries #leanstartup pretty #lean is a strong focus on not wasting employees time in software dev, etc.

Would make more sense if the #LeanSigma was 99.9997% off list price, not 96% off. pic.twitter.com/pOqATS98a8

But about 95% of hospital CEOs wear a formal suit (men or women). Out of sync with biz CEOs. pic.twitter.com/h4OiQnrwAk

If you say your #Lean efforts are focused on improving patient flow, your goal can't be 100% utilization of people & equipment (or close to)
— Mark Graban (@MarkGraban) March 19, 2015
Healthcare traditionally focuses on keeping everybody and everything 100% busy. That's the WORST design for good patient flow. #Lean

I'm always interested in hearing people's "#lean horror stories." The root is usually some leader really not understanding lean at all.

"We've been implementing #Lean for 5 years but haven't been engaging everyone in daily continuous improvement." How is that Lean, then?
— Mark Graban (@MarkGraban) March 19, 2015
Nice email to get "…engaging and training staff on problem solving is much more effective than a suggestion system…" #kaizen #lean
— Mark Graban (@MarkGraban) March 20, 2015
It seems old traditional corporate thinking is more like to screw up and bastardize #Lean than it is that Lean would fix the broken culture?
— Mark Graban (@MarkGraban) March 20, 2015
New #Lean tools + a broken old culture (top-down, blaming, $-driven, command and control)… the old culture usually wins?
