Just what is ‘Lean Thinking’? Lean thinking is a business approach that helps us find new ways to think about the way we undertake activities and provide services, with the aim of eliminating excess and waste. In a time when budgets have tightened this approach can offer new ways to ease resource stress, whilst still allowing you to reach goals effectively.
