Change

Hello! In case you haven't noticed, I haven't posted for a while.
That's because I've left the horticulture industry and moved on to another job and industry. I'm working for an incredible company, BAE Systems, as a LeanSigma Specialist. It's an intensively challenging and rewarding job.
I'll miss the many friendships I developed in the floriculture industry, and I wish you all well. Please stay in touch.
Also, as for the future of the Lean Greenhouse- keep watching. I've opened the door for some very gifted individuals, who know the industry and have implemented Lean in growing environments, to post contributions to this site. I think you'll really enjoy their posts.
God bless,
Andy

This blog is...

dedicated to developing working relationships between professionals in the horticulture industry...

... for Greenhouse Change Agents,

trying to implement Lean improvements in their organization.
Did you ever hit a brick wall on how to improve a process, or get overwhelmed with resistance to an obvious improvement?
You'll find this blog a resource to share ideas on what's worked at other companies, and how to make the hardest change of all- peoples' thinking!

... for those interested in a Lean transformation,

but don't know where to start.
When you think about where to begin, it's a daunting task. How much training do you need, should you hire a dedicated consultant, or can you go out and just start making changes?
You'll find that this blog will help you through your initial learning curve, so you can make the best decisions for you and your company.

... for those looking to expand their business,

beyond a one-man-owner-operator show.
How big of a business can one person manage? If you grow, your business will eventually be bigger than you can manage. How do you maintain the core values that built your business, and keep from developing a corporate culture that devours people?
In this blog, you'll learn how Lean offers opportunities, not just in production, but in the service end of your organization, and can provide organizational alignment so your company can act as one in providing value to the Customer.

Welcome, and I look forward to hearing from you.
Andy
