You’re moving fast. Your team is working hard. But is all that motion actually getting you where you want to go?
In this session, we’ll explore how waste shows up in systems - whether you’re on a factory floor, in a software team, or running strategic initiatives. You’ll learn how to identify the 7 (or 8… or 9) classic Lean Wastes, recognize how they play out in knowledge work, and examine your own workflow with fresh eyes.
You’ll walk away with:
- A practical understanding of Lean Wastes and why they matter beyond manufacturing
- Insight into how waste creeps into even high-performing teams
- Simple tools for identifying friction in your own system - and ideas to address it
- A collaborative space to share strategies and learn from peers across disciplines
This session is ideal for professionals who care about flow, clarity, and making work work better - whether you lead teams, coach change, or are just tired of rework and invisible slowdowns.
