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.
“Quality is never an accident, it is always the result of high intention, sincere effort, intelligent direction and skillful execution. It represents the wise choice of many alternatives.” — Willa Foster
These
words reflect the level of excellence that we strive to provide to our
customers. Let’s take a closer look at Foster’s statement and apply it to Lean
and adding value to our customers.

“High
Intention” is about setting high standards and expectations. This means we
understand the goals of our customers and we do all that we can to exceed them.
If we aim to just barely meet our goal then we run the risk of falling short.

“Sincere
effort” is about caring about their wants, needs, and desires and doing our
best to make these things happen. Realizing that meeting the customers goals
must go further than just understanding them. We have to work hard to help make
them happen.
