Yes you are right even in my experience we have been able to change processes and sustain this change because of management involvement it on day to day basis. Gemba walk is a very useful tool. During the initial phases of change everyone including the owner of the organization participated in the gemba walk everyday. This helped to convey the message to everyone that we are serious about this change and also helped everyone to get on the same page, continuously aligning people and processes towards the business goals.

I should agree with the last paragraph of this article. Management commitment is absolute prerequisite of any change in the organisation. I saw many beatiful lean and non-lean methods and tools that reqire change in behaviour. None of them work without a management will. And it does not refer only to desire of top management but also to its capability to convey that will to all management levels. Management will comes from sincere vision of benefit coming out of this change. Thank you for valuable thoughts and opinions you are posting on your blog.
