Management / six sigma

English term or phrase: lean and mean’

Improvement terminology: while the intuition
and metaphors in Lean may be more
appealing to an NHS audience (Boaden et
al., 2005a), the reaction to Six Sigma jargon
suggests great care needs to be taken with
this. In particular the ‘lean and mean’ issue
needs careful attention and has already led
to problems in public sector
implementations.
