In today's episode of ScaleX Insider, I'm thrilled to welcome Ryan Tierney, co-founder of Seating Matters. Ryan and I delve into his transformative journey with Lean principles, discussing how discovering Lean changed the way he worked and led to massive business growth. We explore how small ideas can spark significant changes and drive company success. Ryan also shares his vision for making Ireland the next Japan in terms of manufacturing excellence.

We talk about how important it is to stop wasting time, act now, and eliminate non-value-adding activities. Ryan reveals the hidden power of Lean that many overlook, along with the reason he avoided public speaking for so long. Finally, we uncover simple steps to unlock business freedom and how Lean principles can help businesses scale and thrive.

About Ryan:

Welcome to today's episode, where we're joined by Ryan Tierney, co-founder of Seating Matters, a company dedicated to creating therapeutic seating that enhances the quality of life for people with disabilities. Nearly a decade ago, Ryan faced constant production challenges and a stressful work environment. A late-night discovery of Lean principles sparked a complete turnaround.

Today, Seating Matters stands as a shining example of world-class Lean Manufacturing, with insights drawn from experiences across the globe. Ryan runs the company alongside his brothers, Jonathan and Martin Tierney. In August, he released the best-selling book Lean Made Simple: 12 Proven Steps for Creating a Vibrant Lean Culture.

Ryan's journey is a testament to how Lean principles can drive real, measurable change in any organisation.
