Overall remarks and questions

• lean thinking on management techniques?
  • it's "yet another management principle" that you can combine with the others
• lean thinking probably also became famous because of its "network-effect" aspect
  • in order to apply lean thinking you also need others to apply
• apply Lean Thinking to knowledge
  • just-in-time epistemology
    • Education
  • focusing on your strategy rather than jumping on "shiny bits of knowledge"
