Joanna has been with the Judicial Branch since 2008, most recently
with the Superior Court Center as a Court Service Representative.
Joanna has always been a go getter, strong advocate for teamwork
and enlists herself as an "outside of the box" thinker. Her creativity
and organization alignment strategies assure support of mission critical
activities for both internal and external customers to the branch. Joanna
recently provided a series of Lean training at her agency to over 50 staff.
This Lean foundational work is shifting the "we have always done it that way"
to embracing "what works for the customer and what make sense". Joanna's goal
has been to start the Lean cultural transformational movement within the
Judicial Branch and she is making that happen. She is helping the branch by
serving as a Lean resource and spreading the theme of Lean Thinkers and Lean Do-ers.
