Implementing Lean principles is the latest public sector movement and involves new lean concepts, new lean planning, and new lean tools. But even the best implementation of these three lean components will fail without a fourth component; one that sets the proper foundation: a lean culture. During this presentation we’ll: •Discuss why the office culture is imperative to successful lean implementations •Encourage participants to share failure and success stories and share our own •Provide and solicit tips and techniques on establishing, supporting, and growing the foundational culture needed for successful Lean implementation •Challenge participants to identify the role and importance of cultural leaders and cultural enablers and their impact on continuous improvement, enterprise alignment, and results. •Identify methods to address threats to a burgeoning Lean culture and ways to establish practices to ensure culture continuity
