Lean Management for the Public Sector
Our country’s economic well-being demands that all sectors, including government, transform how they serve the public.
After decades of success in the private sector, the Lean management system is now being applied at state, county, and municipal levels. Consider the operational gain your government agency can generate by
- Improving the quality and efficiency of government services
- Redeploying previously wasted capacity to your mission
- Boosting employee morale
These results are achievable using Lean principles and techniques. While the potential is great, the transition is not simple. Administrators who are well qualified in traditional management techniques don’t suddenly become Lean managers.
Daniel Penn Associates consultants work closely with government entities to reduce costs and enhance service. From administrative functions to operational activities, we are familiar with government processes, regulations, and procedures. We deliver results to your agency in a timely and cost-effective manner.
