Replay from our live April 7 webinar. Most Lean initiatives stall because leaders chase tools instead of building capability. In this rare unfiltered session, Mark DeLuzio teams up with seasoned transformation veteran Mark Forkun for a blunt conversation on the realities of Lean, why most organizations fake it, and what it takes to get results that last. From the hidden failure of matrix org charts to the silent sabotage of cost accounting, this webinar replay is a wake-up call for anyone tired of surface-level improvement. You'll hear how Toyota's true strength isn't what's on the walls, but what's in the minds. You'll also get hard-won insight on problem solving, value stream management, and the dysfunction of Lean "audits" that create motion without impact. Plus, Mark Forkun shares a preview of his new book and the habits he believes matter most for sustaining Lean results.
