So, can anything be done differently? <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This is where lean thinking could come into play. &nbsp;The concept of lean thinking originated from Japanese car manufacturer Toyota and has been applied across various industries over the years. &nbsp;Lean is about creating the most value for the customer while minimizing resources, time, energy, and effort<sup>2<\/sup>. It enables the smooth flow of the processes, while striving for continuous improvement and is in this podcast episode suggested to be applicable to the justice system to improve the existing processes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"886\" height=\"591\" src=\"https:\/\/blogs.hanken.fi\/sustainability-unwrapped\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/11\/2021\/10\/lean_thinking_in_justice.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-803\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blogs.hanken.fi\/sustainability-unwrapped\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/11\/2021\/10\/lean_thinking_in_justice.jpg 886w, https:\/\/blogs.hanken.fi\/sustainability-unwrapped\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/11\/2021\/10\/lean_thinking_in_justice-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/blogs.hanken.fi\/sustainability-unwrapped\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/11\/2021\/10\/lean_thinking_in_justice-768x512.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 886px) 100vw, 886px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u2018\u2019It\u2019s the way of&nbsp; handling the cases and it\u2019s about systemic change\u2019\u2019, reminds Matti Tolvanen. \u2018\u2019At best lean thinking can increase the quality of the processes leading to more cases solved in a more profound way\u2019\u2019, recalls Ana and Matti. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">With quite many apparent benefits, what has then been preventing lean thinking to find its way into our judicial processes? It is the current resistance for change, both from individuals and organisations. \u2018\u2019The law itself does not resist changes, it is the manner in how we think\u2019\u2019, emphasize both Ana and Matti. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Tune in to this Sustainability Unwrapped episode, to get a good grasp of how lean thinking can improve the justice system, smoothen the judicial processes and the various roadblocks currently facing it.
