delighting them, while
earning an acceptable return
for shareholders.

processes, meetings, and
collaboration tools are
designed and run.
“Everything should be made as simple as possible. But not simpler” Albert
Einstein
LEAN CULTURE: SIMPLICITY

that teams are constantly
working to evolve their
processes to deal with
their particular obstacles
they are facing at any
