		<description><![CDATA[One of the core ideas of Lean Management is the elimination of waste.

		<description><![CDATA[Last week I was at a client and I was explaining some point of lean culture and I used an example from Toyota. The union president who was in attendance stood up and said "I'll tell you one thing, you better not tell us to do anything because Toyota did it.

Our economic woes will not be solved until we come to understand the pillars upon which wealth rests. Banks aren&#8217;t lending because of trust in one another. As a result, they aren&#8217;t lending to [...]]]></description>
