“In the Netherlands we call it  ‘farmers wisdom’: that is Lean. It is not about politics, games, virtual reality or vague ideas. It is down-to-earth, real, measurable. It is sweat and hard work to improve every day, step by ste, the Flow in all business processes. And most of all, it is about ánd with the people who are working in these processes.
All of that isn’t easy. It requires a lot of endurance and persistence, just as working on a farm. However in my experience, the results are always inspiring and above expectations.”
