It is interesting that even though so few companies are truly 'Lean', many are now starting to talk about 'Beyond Lean'. Perhaps it is to do with the fact that so many have tried it and failed and therefore think that the only way forward is to go 'beyond lean', or is it because people have become Lean and have realised that by itself it is not everything is it promised and feel that to get the real benefit they must go beyond what they have?
I believe the real reason people want to go 'beyond lean' is because, like so many things, it has had its time in some areas and needs a refresh - it is no less effective than it was before, people are not being more successful with it and it is still not widely implemented properly, but it has been around for 10 years and I suppose it needs to be rebadged - perhaps as 'High Performance Lean' or something less connected to the original term?
Any suggestions?
