Don’t embark on a lean transformation believing that it will magically make all your problems go away. The opposite could be true, in fact. Lean may bring more problems to light than you were aware of—and that’s a good thing. In this episode of Behind the Curtain: Adventures in Continuous Improvement, podcast hosts John Dyer and Dr. Mohammed Saleh delve into the myth that says if lean is working, your organization should have fewer problems.

The truth is that lean makes problems more visible, say the hosts of Behind the Curtain: Adventures in Continuous Improvement. The only way to improve is to develop a culture ...

Companies are rushing into AI with great expectations. Some executives see a productivity revolution. Others see a convenient justification for abruptly reducing headcount. That is the wrong starting point. Companies should not deploy AI primarily to explain layoffs. They should use it to remove the unnecessary and inherent complexity that has accumulated across products, processes, systems, meetings, reports and decision rights.

Traditional cost-cutting often disappoints, as the company removes people but the dysfunctional systems remain.

A robotics integrator commissioning a production line needs remote access to the manufacturing ex*****on system, so an account gets created with broad rights and a password that does not expire. Unlike the commissioning project, the account does not have an end date, and it keeps authenticating long after the integrator's last site visit. Accounts like that are the infrastructure AI runs on, and they are easy to overlook while adoption accelerates. Every AI assistant or machine learning model requires access to enterprise data, production systems, engineering repositories and operational technology. Each new connection creates identities, permissions and machine credentials that someone has to govern.
