Written by In 2012, Louisville Metro setup a process improvement team to help solve problems within the city.
Steve Pollock explains how he helped shift the internal improvement experts from reactive coaches to proactive consultants with a daily management system, in order to better engage with the different departments and agencies.
They also reduced the lean training from 4 different levels down to a much simpler approach.

They worked on standard work, expanded skill sets, reduced the number of templates and service offerings.
