Aberdeen Authority Reinvests in Kaizen Blitz Team
Following up on Lean government news from Scotland, an article in The Buchan Observer tells of the challenges of making ends meet in Aberdeen. Costs are rising, as are fees and taxes but 16 million punds sterling have been saved through kaizen efforts. Sensibly, part of these kaizen savings will be reinvested in kaizen. From the article:
This will include strengthening the authority's highly-regarded Kaizen Blitz team, which develops ways of efficient working; extending the contract of the council's Best Value Audit co-ordinator, and reinforcing and developing consultation and engagement with residents, businesses, community planning partners and employees.
How I would love to pay taxes to a government that does kaizen.
