The Lean Approach to Meeting your Targets

Lean working is a proven technique for helping teams of people to identify inefficiencies in their own work areas and to cooperate in eliminating them. Anyone familiar with local authority processes will know there is huge scope for greater efficiency and better service outcomes. The latest Socitm Consulting briefing, available from our Briefings page and from the Socitm library, explains how to apply the principles of Lean working in the context of your own organisation.
