Every Organization Has a Dragon, Every Organization Can Use Lean Thinking to Harness It
Every continent of the world has stories of dragons, wherever these mythical beasts lived, these ancient legends endowed dragons with great power- life changing power. In some cultures they are creative and protective and in others all consuming and destructive. They reflected the fears and aspirations of the storytellers and the times they lived in. The dragon I speak about is a metaphor that represents the joint response of the people doing the work, to the leadership’s influence on their behavior. Every organization has a dragon, every organization can use lean thinking to harness it. Like dragons, the people doing the work have the power to create or destroy. They too reflect the fears and aspirations of their storytellers. The storytellers are you the leadership. You guide the power of the dragon and what it can accomplish.

Broadly used to visualize the outcomes is the so called X-matrix and you will be able to see all benefits of this simple, yet powerful tool.

Lean thinking is informed by underlying values and assumptions. Key among those are the principles of Continuous Improvement and Respect for Humanity. To apply those, we begin by identifying problems or dreams and countermeasures or target conditions. How can CI and Respect embodied in lean problem solving be applied to the great problems of the world of today and tomorrow? How can we define our futures?
