🤔 What If Waste Isn’t Just a Cost, But Actually a Missed Opportunity?
When we think of waste, it’s easy to frame it purely as extra costs—unnecessary packaging, overproduction, downtime, out of date stock. And yes, waste has a very real financial impact. But what if we looked at this differently and flipped the perspective?
🧠 What if waste could actually represent potential?
Every bit of waste in a business is a signal. It's telling us something:
A bottleneck in the process 🚦
A misalignment between expected demand and actual demand 📊
A great opportunity for innovation 💡
By seeing and addressing these signals—whether it's through better processes, technology, or just new ways of working—it’s possible to not only save money but, excitingly, also free up capacity for growth, creativity, and sustainability.
🌱 Waste isn’t just something to eliminate. It’s a puzzle to solve!
Thinking differently about waste – seeing the signals and not solely the costs – can be a significant paradigm shift and a game changer!
