The Lean Transformation Process

1. Agree to Start the Lean Transformation
   Why wait to dramatically improve efficiency and improve stakeholder and customer satisfaction? The sooner you begin the Lean Transformation process, the sooner your organization will see tangible results.
2. Assess Your Organization and Teams
   Understanding where you stand and what your issues are is critical to finding your way to a hyper-productive organization. All facets of your organization matter: people, processes, tools, environment, and culture.
3. Create the Lean Transformation Playbook
   This is a step-by-step guide to how to use Lean most effectively from where you are right now, and allow you to customize Lean practices to work within your organization.
4. Establish Lean Transformation Team
   Management becomes leadership in the Lean Transformation process. The Lean Transformation Team provides a guiding vision of why change is urgently needed, and leads by example so staff know that the change is serious.
5. Launch Lean Delivery Team(s)
   Staff teams deliver more value, faster, with improved quality control. A situation-appropriate combination of methodologies produces the best and most immediate results.
6. Ongoing Assessment and Progress Reporting
   Keeping track of your progress is essential for continuous course corrections, to ensure Lean methods and standardizations are maintained and build a continuous improvement environment.
7. Build Capacity
   Systematically reducing dependence on outside help as your staff  learn all aspects of their work within the Lean Transformation, through the right combination of Lean training and experience.
8. Ensure Sustainability
   Crisis doesn't have to derail your Lean Transformation...  Sustainability will enable you to overcome obstacles and continue delivering the most value possible for the long-term.
