Lean Thinking & Lean Strategy
The real digital challenge
Can we build people-centric organisations for this age?
Common Obstacles
Strategy & planning separate from execution & operations
Bureaucratic systems & functional silos inherently resist change
Financial systems can’t see problems or improvements
Change through experts & compliance – disengaged employees
Innovation through big leaps & disruption
Lots of wasted time, effort, capital & resources
people-free factories or people-centric systems
simpler multi-model flexible factories zero emissions
smaller footprint 40% less cost
autonomous products or human assist
“artificial intelligence is the futurebut people come first”
Toyota’s strategy was always based on learning
Gemba as a source of transformation – dynamic gains
Challenging and enabling everyone to grow & develop
Continuous innovation of leading technologies
Lean strategy is solving the right problems using a different way of thinking
Choosing people-centric solutions
Personal commitment to learn & to support learning by everyone
Lead from the ground up
Go to the gemba – help solve an immediate problem & show your commitment to learn
Begin to see the underlying problems & the capabilities needed to solve them
Set the improvement directions
Which physical metrics will yield the desired business results
Clear how everyone can contribute to make these improvements
Toyota Production System is a learning system
Single-loop &double-loop
learning
Improving work& processes
Form solutions through repeated experiments
Reusable knowledgecaptured in standards
Reusable learningto solve tomorrows’ problems
Not about rolling out “best practice”
Products are a stream of value - with a takt time
Parallel evolution of technical capabilities
Chief Engineer – observes the user, producer and supplier gembasDefines the overall product concept
Makes judgements on new and existing features
Technical departments – provide the knowledge& manage the learning curves
Continuous innovation in line with user needs the key to learning faster than the competition
Lean is a business systemthat learns to solve the right problems
faster than competitorswhile wasting less time, effort,
capital & resources
