The Problem with Lean: Evidence Towards a Solution

During the early summer of 2013 I conducted a survey of my 80,000 LinkedIn group members[1]as well as other similar LinkedIn groups. Within the sample, 23% described themselves as beginners, 46% as intermediate and 31% as advanced in their lean journeys.

This corresponded well with how long they had been applying lean in their organisation: 15% not yet started, 22% in their first year, 33% in their second or third year and 30% in their fourth year or further.

The two purposes of the survey were:

  1. To establish what issues or problems people have with their lean implementation activity and specifically what their single biggest problem was.
  2. What can we learn from this that might help make future lean improvements more effective.
