Lean Pocket Handbook for Financial Services
We will never see another time in history where two events occurring simultaneously will impact every man, woman, and child. These events will create an unprecedented opportunity for the financial services (i.e., banks, credit unions, investment companies, and mortgage and insurance companies) by creating billions of dollars in equity, thereby, requiring their services.

The first event is the emergence of China, Poland, India, and Russia as a consumer (and producer) of products and services. Second, the largest segment of the population in the United States, the baby boomers, will be experiencing retirement. With these two events occurring simultaneously it will create tremendous opportunities for the financial service industries. These industries must be ready to compete globally for this business. In doing so, efficient business systems and practices must be adopted and continually improved upon.

Lean is a business improvement system based on the powerful concepts documented by the world-class Toyota Motor Corporation. Lean is a process designed to eliminate waste. For these financial service industries to obtain their share of this new business opportunity, costs must be contained and waste eliminated. If this does not happen, your ATM card will be drawing from the Chekiang First Bank Ltd, Bejing, China.

Lean is a way to increase margins, customer retention, and reduce stress. Lean can be used in the front office of the NFL or the local coffee shop in Bombay, India. It has been around for decades in manufacturing and recently having success in healthcare, construction, and now the financial service industries.

An old Chinese proverb states: “You can’t do today’s job with yesterday’s methods and be in business tomorrow.”
