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.

Lean in Government | Episode 8 | How Standards & Systems Sustained Warehouse Success (Part 2)
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
For years, I watched organizations invest in software, systems, and tools, yet warehouses stayed disorganized and inefficient.
The problem wasn’t technology.
It was the lack of standards.
In Episode 8 of Lean in Government, Part 2 of our warehouse transformation series, I share what happened after the initial improvements and what it took to sustain them.
We talk about the power of naming conventions, why speaking the same “inventory language” matters, and how tools like Cityworks only start working once Lean standards, visual management, and daily discipline are in place.
This episode focuses on moving from firefighting to predictability, from tribal knowledge to shared understanding, and from manual chaos to reliable, electronic inventory management.
If you manage warehouse, supply chain, fleet, or inventory operations, especially in government, this episode will resonate.
