Thoughts on: Where Lean Went Wrong – A Historical Perspective
I believe that companies that say they are attempting to become lean fail to do so in the most important ways. I do believe most efforts result in improvement but usually are fairly limited by the existing management system and refusal to really change much.
More than "lean failing" I would say transforming to a different management culture fails. Saying lean fails makes it seem to me that what a lean management system was in use and failed which is not really the case it doesn't seem to me.
I wrote about these ideas on my blog: Why Use Lean if So Many Fail To Do So Effectively
and discussed them in this podcast on Building Organizational Capability.
