What does a lean consultant do?

Full-time lean workers in every enterprise have an idea in their hearts that one day they will go it alone, become lean consultants, become freelancers and run towards financial freedom. The topic discussed in this issue is about the suggestions on the future career choice of lean practitioners, which is for the reference of lean people only. The differences are summarized as follows:

1, different attitudes: lean workers, talk about schemes and methods, the problem of insufficient landing effect is not big, just change the scheme; Lean consultants do what they say in project development, otherwise there will be no payment back;

2, the traffic is different: lean workers, relatively fixed work, can drive, bus and walk every day; Lean consultants travel around the project, usually at least two cities a week, mainly high-speed rail and planes;

3. Different methods: lean workers should have a general idea, master theoretical methods and gradually explore practice; Lean consultants need to learn every day, turn theoretical methods into closed-loop steps of practice, and control the process results in stages, which is a systematic method to ensure the results;

4, the pressure is different: lean workers, the pressure comes from the boss or trivial matters, overtime or not; Lean consultants, the pressure comes from how to improve the systematization of their own methods, and at the same time, better enterprises can produce results, sum up anytime and anywhere, and have no concept of time;

5. Different cognition: lean employees, who are relatively stubborn, may do things according to the routine of enterprises or leaders, which may violate the methods that lean should have and do not like things that change; Lean consultant, working in changes, following trends, following customer needs, adjusting direction at any time, and having strong communication skills;

6. The atmosphere is different: most lean workers are a team, and they are collective when discussing together. It seems that they are not free. Lean consultants, who are decent clients most of the time, need to adapt to loneliness, self-discipline, seemingly free but not free to promote the lean landing of enterprises on their own;
