Episode 41: Act Your Way to Lean Thinking

In this podcast we explore the core idea that behavior change, not belief change, drives Lean transformation. Arnoud Herremans and Norbert Majerus explain how altering the environment to support new behaviors fosters Lean thinking.Using examples from Goodyear's Innovation Centers, the session demonstrates how coaching leaders and creating collaborative systems led to significant improvements. Practical strategies like Lean problem-solving, gemba walks, and role modeling will be discussed, showing how to build a Lean-friendly culture that promotes sustainable results.Attendees will gain tools to create environments where Lean behaviors—and ultimately, Lean thinking—can thrive. I hope you enjoy the podcast.
