Tools Without Context Create Waste: A Four-System View of Lean
Creating context for deploying Lean requires utilizing the full gamut of the Lean Systems; Performance, Strategic, Management, and Leadership. Strategy deployment must be implemented to provide context. The management system provides the necessary processes to sustain improvement and the foundational conversations for meaningful next steps.

Without inspirational and influential leadership, even tools used correctly, within the right context, fail to deliver the greatest potential results.
