A mindset or philosophy

steps that benefit our customers 2. Looks to employees to provide solutions

What we think a process is

What it really is

What it should be

Why do we need to look at our processes?

Why Lean now? Our workforce is naturally shrinking as our

demographics change

Demand for high quality programs and services is not going to decrease

Greater capacity challenges in the future

Employees want a meaningful opportunity to redesign the process

What do we hope to achieve? A continuous improvement culture across the public

service

Employees are constantly asking themselves whether what they do brings true value to the customer

Benefits to customers, employees and the bottom line
