While rotating the logistics of the meeting site each quarter, the host agency
conducts a value added or a learning component in addition to the old and new
business discussed. Generally, we meet on the 3rd Friday of January, April, July
and October from 1:00pm - 3:00 pm. To confirm the date, time and place of each
Lean Network meeting, refer to the calendar on the Lean homepage.
Lean is not just about working harder — we are working smarter. One
phrase you won't hear in an event or network meeting is "We've always
done it that way." As new agencies join us, we are collectively reminded
of why we conduct Lean events. We aim for process progression in terms
of time, money and morale. Not only can we say it's working — we can
prove it because Lean is data driven to better serve our customers!
What is the New Hampshire Lean Network?
The Lean Network is made up of state and local agencies that use
Lean techniques for process improvement. It is the mission of the
Lean Network to promote and support the use of Lean process improvement
throughout New Hampshire. Upon inception, we opted to discuss best
practices and lessons learned while letting the culture of our
individual agencies shape our program.
