Summary
John Bicheno has dedicated his career to the subtle Art of Lean, nurturing a complex and nuanced philosophy that is habitually eroded when passed through the reductionist, monetizing filters that drive Western consultancy. Under his care that seed grew from a car centric creed to encompass wider horizons. In this episode he looks back on his legacy with a wry smile. His legacy lives on in the 5th edition of The Lean Toolbox: A Handbook for Lean Transformation. Bio Prof John Bicheno, Emeritus Professor
