Episode notes
Leadership Must Own The Operating System
- Scaling requires a clear operating system owned by leadership and universal training.
- Monthly field walks by competent people are required to ensure projects implement the system.
Create Conditions For Change
- Ensure people know how, want to, and have the right circumstances to change.
- Provide tools, materials, and clear conditions so improvements are actually possible.
Paul Akers And Japan Examples
- Jason cites Paul Akers and Japanese companies as examples where leaders decided, built systems, trained, and checked daily.
- Those organizations scaled Lean because leaders drove standards, training, and regular gemba walks.
