In this episode, we delve into the human transformation system known as Lean or the Toyota Way. Bernard shares his experiences and the challenges he faced while building Premier Group, including the near-collapse of the business due to an over-budget factory project and holding $1 million in excess inventory.
We explore the concept of Lean transformation, a strategic approach aimed at creating more value for customers through tactical and operational improvements. Bernard discusses how Lean can start as a grassroots effort within a single team or as a top-down strategic initiative, always with the goal of delivering sustainable value to customers.
