How Stalwart Lean Leadership and Classic Lean Practices Yield Operational and Clinical Excellence
Organizations can achieve the seemingly impossible when they have steadfast lean leadership, a sharp focus on purpose, and experience applying "classic" lean thinking and practice. Here's an example.
No one has time, money, or resources to address the same problems again and again, especially a year into a pandemic with the emotional and physical exhaustion and never-ending stress pushing the front line to their limits day after day. It is precisely when lean thinking and practice and unwavering lean leadership are most helpful. The design and repeated modification of the work elements require the discipline of understanding the problem as best as you can and having the fortitude, patience, and support to iterate as you learn more.
Given the growing complexity occasioned by our growing return to normal processes and workflows, coordinating and rationalizing all our work into systems efficiently and effectively has become even more imperative.
