The Lean Conundrum

If Lean means less, why are we drowning in meetings?

In 'The Lean Conundrum', players step into the shoes of Maxine, a mid-level employee at a tech startup that’s obsessed with perpetual improvement and efficiency. The company's latest methodology, the 'Lean Startup 2.0', claims to revolutionize project management. As Maxine navigates office politics, dubious methodologies, and a series of bizarre corporate initiatives, players are given choices that affect morale, productivity, and ultimately the company's fate. Will you lean into the absurdity of endless meetings and pointless metrics, or will you disrupt the cycle and bring sanity back to the workplace? Your decisions shape not only your career but the very culture of the company in this comedic and dramatic text-based adventure.
