Who’s Stealing Our Time, Energy, and Focus?

Not a villain in a cape.

Not something outside our control.

The 8 wastes are so deeply ingrained in most organizations that it’s often dismissed with the familiar refrain, That’s just how we do things around here.

Could this be simpler, faster, or better?

But what if I you told you there's another way?
