Lean Global Network
The Lean Global Network
• LGN is a network of mission-driven institutes taking
responsibility for bringing lean thinking and practices to
their countries and the world
• We believe lean thinking and practice can:
– Improve the performance of organisations and raise living
standards
– Enable prosperity while minimising resource use and
environmental impact
– Provide more fulfilling work and personal development for
everyone
– Enable consumers to create more value (consumer at center of
value-creation)

A Simple Definition of Lean
Thinking & Practice
Systemically develop people
and continuously improve
processes to create value and
prosperity while consuming
minimum resources.
Every Organization Must Address
• Purpose – Provide value to customers (cost-
effectively to prosper, etc.).
• Process – Through value streams that are
designed, operated, improved.
• People – By engaging and respecting
employees and other stakeholders.
 Aligning purpose, process, and people is
the central task of management.

• We should teach the art & craft of science.
• Science will give us a good technical
answer.
But…
• being technically “right” is only half the
“battle”.

Transformation Questions
1. Have you made the purpose or mission clear to everyone? Does
everyone know their value to create, their problem to solve?
2. Have you defined the work to be done? Is it being improved?
3. Do you have the necessary capabilities? How are you developing
people?
4. Do you have the management system and do your leaders exhibit
the needed behaviors (to develop capability to do the work to
accomplish the mission)?
5. Do you understand the current basic thinking
(mindsets, assumptions) and grasp its
impact on the organization and its culture?

•Design a routine – provide training
–Make success understandable and do-able
•Make it easy to see problems
–Anything that interrupts the routine
•Make it clear what to do for problems
–Contain and notify (“neither accept nor pass on…”)
•Make it clear what will happen after notification

streams that flow value to customers
Lead/support the creation of systems
that develop people to take personal
responsibility to continuously improve
processes and solve problems

Editor's Notes

  • #8 SAY: Every organization, to achieve it’s purpose, must get alignment between it’s people and it’s processes. And that is management’s central task.
  • #44 Of course, leaders can set alignment around the vision (PURPOSE), they can design and support processes that create/provide value to customers (PROCESS) and they can try to develop people (PEOPLE) to take personal responsibility for problem solving (PROBLEM SOLVING.) However the leadership style and behaviors (the way leaders act) are also a key factor in determining whether they will be successful. There are many different leadership styles, but the lean style is neither the old dictator style of “do it my way” nor is it the empowerment style “do it your way.” Instead lean leadership is about “follow me… and we’ll figure this out together.” Explain the team and the leader picture, originally developed from a Toyota illustration. – Lean style as different from dictator as from empowerment style. – About the leader guiding the work team so that together they are stronger. Leadership styles and behaviors are a key factor in determining the success a leader has when developing and implementing lean.
