Why Do Most Lean Initiatives Fail to Meet Expectations?

It's the BASICS, Friend!

A while back, the Aberdeen Group, published their “Lean Bench-mark Report.” Here's their most important finding, "Companies that have achieved operational excellence through the deployment of a lean strategy share this important characteristic:

"Dedication to basics such as streamlining processes, creating a well ordered work environment, and on-going continuous improvement programs (Kaizen)."

And, here's the Aberdeen Report's conclusion:

"Best-in-class companies tackle Lean
by mastering the basics
."

 

We realize the word "BASICS" is not very sexy. But it is a very important thing to understand. 

The fact is, business basics... the things that serve as a solid foundation for growing and enduring success have not changed since before I was born... and won't change after you're dust.

It's tempting to think that they do... that the introduction of computerized systems like Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP), Customer Relations Management, (CRM) and Six Sigma can change the BASICS.

We understand the temptation. we can only caution against it.

Mastering the business basics of what has worked in the past establishes
the foundation needed to successfully implement and optimize the change initiatives of today and tomorrow. Best of all, work will become fun again.


Back-to-Basics with Vince Lombardi

Many years ago Vince Lombardi led the Green Bay Packers football team to unprecedented success by having an almost obsessive focus on doing the BASICS very well. 

It’s amazing how many individuals and companies have great visions yet fail to achieve their full growth and earning potentials. They're a lot like the Green Bay Packers' football team before the arrival of Vince Lombardi... all the potential in the world but with not enough focus on executing the basics of their business and profession.
