Listen Later

Most Lean efforts do not stall because people hate improvement. They stall because the system was never built to support it.

This episode gives you a fast, practical lens for evaluating whether your organization is built to sustain improvement. You will learn how to recognize common traps that keep Lean efforts stuck, why certain measurement habits create the wrong behavior, and how to distinguish capability building from project theater.

By the end, you will have a sharper way to assess your structure, roles, support functions, and operating rhythm, so you can stop guessing and start fixing what is really holding you back.
