Sorry, but you must not know much about LeanSS. I work for an organization that has been fundamentally transformed - I’d even say saved - by its implementation. It’s hard. It involves breaking a lot of eggs. But it’s very real and very VERY impactful.

Hank...

While they are at it, make them also do...

* Taguci
* Kazien Events
* Get their ISO 9000 Certs....

Half of them would quit rather than go through the painful changes, nevermind downsizing 40 or 50% they might self downsize. This is what the real world went through just to stay profitable and deal with Washington's insane regulations, turnabout would be fair-play at this point....

Yep....well I have to admit I don't anything about “Taguci,” but I've participated in multiple Kaizen events and an ISO certification effort.

In the case of our own facility, we were about 70 people when we started. We're now at about 100. We got better, we got more customer-focussed, and we got more business. We're the only facility in our division that added people in this time. There's a fallacy that it's about mindlessly cutting heads, and that just isn't the case. Not when done by people who know what they're doing.
