Title
Lean University: A Guide to Renewal and Prosperity - Paperback
by Bob Emiliani (Author)
Higher education has long been in crisis. Most attempts to fix it focus on what's easiest to cut, not what most needs improving: teaching, courses, and degree programs.
Lean University takes a different approach. Drawing on 120 years of progressive management practice and the author's experience leading the first kaizens applied to an accredited graduate program, the book provides a structured guide for applying Lean management to both academic and administrative work in higher education.
The book defines Lean clearly, traces its history back to the Carnegie Foundation's 1910 study of academic efficiency, examines how leadership must change, and offers practical chapters on buy-in, participation, roles and responsibilities, and 25+ beginner's errors to avoid.
A closing essay introduces "Continuous Flow University," a model for on-demand, pull-based higher education.
Intended for university leaders, faculty, and policymakers seeking a less harmful, more rigorous, and more effective path to renewal.
