LPM leaders look for high-leverage decisions — the few changes that will deliver the most value:
Low leverage: Adding more people to slow teams
High leverage point: Fixing systemic bottlenecks in value flow
Low leverage: Approving more projects.
High leverage point: Reduce WIP to improve delivery speed
Low leverage: Controlling budgets tightly
High leverage: Shifting to Lean guardrails and Participatory Budgeting
Low leverage: Measuring output
High leverage: Measuring outcomes and value realization
LPM leaders don’t just manage – they identify where the system’s “lever” are and pull them wisely.
