It’s a bold claim, but one worth exploring.
Join PMI Consultant Niall Coney as he challenges one of the most persistent misconceptions in improvement: that Lean is about efficiency.
Through real-world examples and a return to the purpose behind Lean tools, Niall reframes Lean as a way to see abnormality at a glance. Not as a shortcut to efficiency, but as a foundation for problem solving.
From 5S to standardised work, Andon to process confirmation, he explores how these tools expose problems rather than fix them, creating the conditions for better thinking, better habits, and better results.
If Lean feels like it’s missing the mark in your organisation, this conversation might just change the way you see it.
