A Lean Journey 
On Fridays I will post a Lean related Quote. Throughout our lifetimes many people touch our lives and leave us with words of wisdom. These can both be a source of new learning and also a point to pause and reflect upon lessons we have learned. Within Lean active learning is an important aspect on this journey because without learning we can not improve.
“Awareness precedes choice. Choice precedes change.” — Lauren Herrera
If you aren’t
aware of a problem, you won’t make different choices to fix it. If you don’t make different choices to fix
it, nothing will ever change. Think of
it as a three-layered pyramid. The base
of the pyramid is Awareness. The middle section is Choice. The top section is
Change.

Every problem
you encounter will start as an awareness problem. If you are in the position of pushing for
change and people don’t understand/believe/buy-into the idea that there’s a
fundamental problem that needs to be fixed, then you can forget about them
making any decisions that will ultimately lead to a change. It just won’t happen.

Remember,
people don’t change for the sake of change.
They change only after there is an awareness of the problem. Then, and only then, will it be possible to
make different choices that result in change.
