The 5-Step Innovation Process | Lean Built - Manufacturing Freedom E74
About this episode
Jay goes solo, discussing the challenges and triumphs of launching Pierson's latest product, walking listeners through the “Musk Algorithm”—a five-step framework for process creation and optimization:
1. Question assumptions and requirements.
2. Delete unnecessary components.
3. Optimize processes.
4. Accelerate production.
5. Automate intelligently.
And do that in them order, or else! Alongside, Jay delves into Pearson’s philosophy of a people-centric lean company, the value of questioning long-standing practices, and how to foster a work culture where innovation thrives.
