E32: How Lean Events Accomplish More Than Process Improvement

by Brion Hurley

A recent Value Stream Mapping event was held virtually, and we received some positive feedback from the event attendees. I wanted to share some of the comments to show how process improvement helps much more than just faster processes with less quality issues. It helps engage employees in the future direction of the organization, builds teamwork across departments, and creates a safe space for discussing problems and challenges. Please contact me if you’d like help with facilitating your own lean events, so I can better understand how to assist you in this important tool of process improvement.
