Lean Enterprise Transformation Issues
? Why do many lean transformation activities fail?
? What are the key success factors in implementing lean
enterprise wide?
? How can we better assure that lean will impact bottom
line results?
? Are there certain activities that are ideally performed
before others?
? How do we assess an organization’s “readiness to
change”?

What is the Enterprise Level Transition-To-Lean Model ?
Begins with a description of a Top Level
Flow of primary activities referred to as
“The Roadmap”
Then, provides descriptions of key tasks
required within each primary activity
Finally, leads discussion of issues, enablers, barriers,
case studies & reference material relevant to each
task in a common structured framework

What Does the Enterprise Level TTL Model Provide?
Enterprise Level Roadmap
Conceptual Framework
? A robust path that Enterprise Leaders can follow to transition
their organizations to a new plateau of “leanness”
? Efficient and effective tool that will improve the quality of
thinking and awareness of Enterprise Leaders on the
challenge of transitioning their organization
? Framework for cultural, organizational & change
management considerations
? Guidance in making the transition process, itself, a ‘lean’
process

PHASE: Adopt Lean Paradigm
ACTION ITEM: “Build the Vision”
DISCUSSION ISSUES:
?How do you direct a vision in an existing culture that has been
successful?
?Should this be an internal only or externally influenced process?
?How do you assess the applicability of other successful
transformations to your Enterprise?
?How does the lean vision tie into all levels of the enterprise?
