Lean is not a quick fix. Similar to starting a new exercise routine, implementing lean six sigma principles requires discipline and commitment to build new habits and integrate them into a busy life. Initially, it may not seem particularly enjoyable, but when we stay dedicated to the process, the results can be dramatic and life changing. Let Triad Lean guide you on your journey toward a more effective organizational culture. Refer to our 'triad' 1st vertex (client respect) to help you determine if this structured problem solving approach is the right path for your organization.
