It moves organizations beyond simply 'thinking about doing'. A simple example is Kaizen- a lean technique that encourages small, incremental improvements implemented regularly by workers at all levels. It emphasizes acting on improvement ideas quickly rather than spending too much time analyzing. Or Gemba Walks- where leaders observe processes directly on the shop floor or workspace to identify inefficiencies and make immediate improvements. True Lean is all about engaging with reality!! According to a survey by McKinsey, around 70% of change initiatives fail, often due to overplanning and under-execution. The tendency to overanalyze risks and potential outcomes delays progress, leading to lost opportunities and prolonged inefficiencies. This procrastination stems from a fear of failure or imperfection, which effective #Lean management helps combat by encouraging immediate action, learning from mistakes, and making continuous improvements. Like many other Lean practitioners, I follow the PDCA framework [Plan Do Check Act] which is such a simple and effective way to move teams beyond planning. By emphasizing quick cycles of action and reflection, PDCA ensures that teams don't get stuck in analysis paralysis. Instead, they are encouraged to take immediate steps [Do], assess the outcomes [Check], and make necessary adjustments [Act]. This iterative approach is a practical method to ensure that strategy is balanced with execution, and improvement is always in motion. Leaders and teams- it's important to check yourselves regularly to make sure you are balancing strategy with execution- use the questions below in your next team meeting to spark meaningful discussions, identify any roadblocks to progress, and ensure you're consistently turning plans into action. #strategy #improvement #continuousimprovement #execution #leadership DM for credit or removal request - no copyright intended.

The "Anti-Lean Movement"... This was an interesting read, and plenty of things contained in the report resonated with me over my years of experience, particularly in my early "lean" days at a manufacturing unit. However, in the true sense of people that should always be looking to better what they do, this has really inspired me to look for ways of helping people realise the power of lean & its different thinking. You have to start somewhere, and when you consider the issues your Management team face day-to-day, it's easily understood how lean ideas can sometimes seem the wrong kind of effort for a business. As a Lean 'agent', I need to keep plodding along, showing people how they can improve, and collating data & evidence that convinces everyone that there's massive benefit in lean/Continuous Improvement (or whatever word you might use for this alternative way of thinking). For me, I'll ensure we have a standard approach to everything we do in our Team, I'll better what I do every day, and I promise myself to use every mistake I make as an opportunity of improving. Works for me. #continuousimprovement #lean #leadership

The 5S methodology helps us improve efficiency by streamlining operations and reducing waste. It's one of the tools we use in C12 to practically apply lean principles in our companies. Would you like to discuss businesses practices like the 5S Pillars with fellow business leaders and CEOs? I would love to set up a short discovery call to see if C12 is a good fit for you.
