How does lean apply in every day life.............?
Very well actually.
Many things happen and you don’t even realise it, from starting the kettle before you get the tea bags (QCO) to always putting the car keys on the stairs (Visual control).
In 2011 our Dove sponsored boat took lean to the 2011 Flying Fifteen World championships
Going in as an underdog..........
they came out with the silver champion’s trophy!
All down to ‘Living Lean’
So, a sailing team achieved these results from "business lean"?
How so? By using the foundation tools from the Dove model;
This is the Dove approach, helping your people relate to lean in a natural context, enabling them to really carry the thinking forward to the workplace.
By bringing lean to life in this way, Dove finds that your people can really step back and think about it in a way where they realise that, yes, actually, this lean makes sense because I do use it at home! I just didn't realise it.
Dove brings the Lean Model to your teams in a way that really engages them, creating leaders at every level, where they feel empowered and willing to implement and sustain lean practices.
That is far more powerful and sustainable than trying to "enforce" a culture change. It also makes for a more enjoyable and fun place to work!
