Why Is Your Lean Effort Failing?

Avatar photo By Jon Miller Updated on May 23rd, 2017

The Lean Blog is always a good place for insights and discussion on why Lean efforts struggle or fail. Previous discussions have delved into Lean efforts that are in fact LAME.
Mark Graban wrote about the survey format of the Lean Institute being tilted toward blame, and not toward finding the true root cause.
Mark has launched a survey that is designed to help get at the root cause of the question “Why is your lean effort failing?” Even if your Lean effort is a raging success, you can contribute to this survey by identifying roadblocks you may have faced and overcome.
You can win prizes for taking the survey. Go to the Lean Blog to learn more, or directly to the Lean survey.
