Focusing on Lean Principles and Customer Engagement
Lean principles emphasize customer focus, respect for people, and flow rather than mere efficiency.

Lean is not about doing lean, but about adopting a mindset that prioritizes solving customer problems efficiently and with respect for all involved.
