Can a Startup be too Lean?
Is Lean just labels? Yes and no. It’s a set of ideas and processes that, when used skillfully, will lead to greater probability of success. In some cases, paradoxically, success means detecting failure – so you can bounce back, or pivot, quickly enough that it doesn’t tank your entire venture. Truly Lean companies (like Toyota) work on exposing waste so they can eliminate it as soon as possible.
