Lean in Government | Episode 6 | Using Value Stream Mapping to Identify Bottlenecks and Problems

In Episode 6 of the Lean in Government podcast, we focus on one of the most powerful Lean tools for understanding and improving processes: Value Stream Mapping.

Many organizations struggle with delays, rework, and frustration, not because people are the problem, but because the process is broken. In this episode, I explain how Value Stream Mapping helps you:

• See the entire end-to-end process
• Identify real bottlenecks and constraints
• Separate value-added work from waste
• Expose hidden problems that slow teams down
• Make better decisions based on facts, not assumptions

This episode is especially relevant for government, public sector, healthcare, and service organizations, but the principles apply to any organization trying to improve flow, quality, and delivery.
