Lean in Government Podcast
This podcast is dedicated to helping government employees and leaders learn and apply Lean philosophy and continuous improvement to make their organizations more efficient, transparent, and customer-focused.
While Lean has been widely adopted in industries like manufacturing and healthcare, it remains underutilized in the public sector. My goal is to change that — one video, one process, and one improvement at a time.
Whether you’re new to Lean or already practicing continuous improvement, this channel will help you bring Lean thinking to your agency, department, or community.
