Much of “Lean” consulting in business focuses on eliminating problems and “wastes,” whereas we’re guiding teams to focus on striving iteratively in small steps toward a new, desired ‘target condition.’ Funny, we even use something like the Miracle Question to help set challenges in a 1-3 year out time frame, though until recently we had not heard of the Miracle Question.<br />
