Focusing on Lean Principles and Customer Engagement

Lean principles emphasize customer focus, respect for people, and flow rather than mere efficiency. Companies that successfully implement lean do so by applying the thinking behind the practices to their own context, not just replicating actions. Lean is not about doing lean, but about adopting a mindset that prioritizes solving customer problems efficiently and with respect for all involved.
