Today we welcome back NCG Coach Jim Bradley for  the final episode in this introductory Lean Podcast Series - this time, we’re discussing the culture factor. 

Continuous improvement efforts that come with the LEAN concept, can only succeed when they become part of an organization’s culture, or  “the way we do things around here”.

It’s one thing to want to implement a change, hold a kaizen event, highlight value add or waste, but how do you sustain? It requires a Continuous Improvement Culture, or CI Culture as you’ll hear us refer to it, that is fully embraced by the entire organization, at every level. 

Jim shares his recommendations on how to breathe a CI Culture into your organization, from  leadership commitments to employee empowerment ideas, communication needs and  integrated improvement solutions that will be the key helping master the culture transformation.
