When a Company That Knows Lean Stops Living It w/ Brian Huh, Envista

Envista didn't start from scratch.

The company was born out of Danaher.

The tools were there.

The playbook was there.

The talent was there.

And that's what makes this story so fascinating.

In Episode 11 of the Lean Focus Podcast, Damon Baker sits down with Brian Huh, Vice President of the Envista Business System Office, to explore what happens when a company that deeply understands Lean slowly drifts away from the discipline that made it successful.

Coming out of COVID, Envista had momentum. Strong growth. Strong EBITDA. Confidence.

Then the dental market softened.

Performance started slipping.

Priorities multiplied.

Focus disappeared.
