LEAN Thinking as a Built-In Operating System

This is where structure became instinct.

Since 2006, LEAN principles have been hardcoded into how I work. At Statoil, I learned to build efficient systems using 5S, KPI dashboards, and workflow mapping – not just as a method, but as a mindset.

This case shows how daily structure, operational data and continuous improvement loops turned high-friction stores into scalable, performance-led teams — and how that mindset has followed me ever since.
