City of Bellevue Finance Department LEAN Journey
How did we get started? Started from the Finance One City Core Team – HPO focus Traction lost on moving the department forward Expanded team attended UW sponsored Lean & Beyond conference Post conference: The team was re-energized with a renewed interest in continuous improvement/LEAN
How did we choose the projects? LEAN team brainstormed areas for improvement Ideas ranked based on size, complexity, and best bang for the buck Had enough members for 2 groups - assigned the top 2 ideas to the 2 groups – twice the learning and fun!
