Unfortunately, the current way of working for many companies impedes their ability to achieve continuity, particularly during times of extreme disruption. This can lead to inefficiencies, ultimately resulting in value being left on the table.
Some of the existing challenges that stand in the way of Lean thinking include:
Organizational barriers
Top-down processes disempower and stifle teams that could otherwise add more value. As a result, teams lack good working relationships and tend to work in siloes. They also often lack the structure and learned behaviors to analyze problems, identify waste and ensure corrective actions are assigned.
Lack of outcome-oriented structures and processes
Many teams are disconnected; when they meet, their time is often wasted, lacking focus on what is important. Information is also disparate and not presented in a way that can steer discourse towards the desired outcome.
