At its core, lean is about creating maximum value with minimal waste. As our October curriculum explores, lean principles—originating from the Toyota Production System—are rooted in two key pillars: respect for people and continuous improvement. Lean is not about cutting corners—it is about ensuring that every action and resource contributes to the value your customers receive. By adopting a lean approach, you can enhance efficiency, optimize resources, and align your operations with biblical stewardship. Join us in embracing lean principles and leading with purpose. www.joinC12.com #c12businessforums #leanprinciples #businessgrowth #executivecoaching
