ABSTRACT
The second element of a consistent lean enterprise culture is policy deployment. At the most fundamental level, lean enterprise thinking provides your team with an understanding of lean theory and values, which allows you to develop your own approach to making those values a reality in your business. Policy deployment, as a natural companion to shared values, creates a sharp focus for ubiquitous shared action. Together these two elements of lean enterprise culture enable you to engage many people at the frontline, who can use lean theories and lean tools to make contributions that would not be possible in traditional operations.
