Becoming
an overnight success is very appealing to most people. It might be
what many business people dream of.
But be warned. As Professor Martin Curley pointed out at
today’s Lean Business Ireland conference the typical timeframe for achieving
such status is 10 years. Yes, that’s right 10 long years. Worse
still, probably the greatest boxer of all time Muhammed Ali said it took him 19
years to become an overnight success!
Irrespective of your goals, ambitions or timeframes in
business, one sure way of making steady progress on the road to success is to
undertake a LeanStart programme if you haven’t already started on your Lean
journey.
Achieving ‘overnight’ success won’t happen, but steady,
incremental gains that can quickly be brought to your P&L and bank balance
definitely can be achieved.
Having the right information systems to give you the key
information on KPIs is a critical place to start.

Think of all that could be achieved way faster than all those
10-year overnight successes!
