Ghosts, Zombies, and Frankenstein Processes: A Lean Halloween Reflection

from Lean Blog Audio: Practical Lean Thinking, Psychological Safety, and Continuous Improvement Hosted by Mark Graban

The blog post Halloween might be about ghosts, zombies, and monsters -- but those same creatures sometimes show up in our organizations all year long. They lurk in old processes, mindless routines, and fear-based management habits. Here's how to spot the spooky stuff in your systems -- and how Lean thinking helps us drive the fear out of improvement. Halloween monsters are fun when they stay in movies. They're less fun when they show up in your workplace. Ghosts of outdated processes. Zombie routines that waste energy. Monsters born of fear and blame. Frankenstein systems cobbled together without purpose.
