A Lean Journey 
On Fridays I will post a Lean related Quote. Throughout our lifetimes many people touch our lives and leave us with words of wisdom. These can both be a source of new learning and also a point to pause and reflect upon lessons we have learned. Within Lean active learning is an important aspect on this journey because without learning we can not improve.
“Change is the law of life and those who look only to the past or present are certain to miss the future.” — John F. Kennedy
Change
is inevitable. Adaptation to change is a necessary and critical component to
survival. But mostly, change is a constant in business. And business seems to
be where the adaptation to change — or lack thereof — seems to have some of
the most significant impact.

In
business, we must continually change, evolution is not an option. If we stand
still in our businesses we go backwards. The day that we think we have our
business model perfected is not the day to stop changing. The issue comes about
when we try to make changes. With the evidence in existence related to the necessity
of change in business, you would think every business would constantly be
revising their model. But that is not the case.

Change
is most often a difficult thing. The sooner we learn to embrace it and work
within it, the easier it will be to begin the next challenge that comes along.
We naturally gravitate toward the things that make us feel fulfilled, safe and
happy. Therefore as we embrace change more often and see the good in it… the
more we will gravitate toward it with enthusiasm!

If
we accept change is inevitable, you will need a means to continually drive
change throughout your business. You should have a change management process
that involves every single employee in an organization. Change should be
ongoing and employees should be a critical part of that process so there is not
fear of change but a willingness to embrace it because it’s a part of the
everyday process in the organization.

is necessary, resistance is futile. Prepare to be assimilated.
