The Lean Economy Connection
The Lean Economy Connection is an independent research centre founded by Dr David Fleming in 1994 to develop the application of lean thinking to environment policy.
Dr Fleming (1940-2010) first described the model of TEQs (Tradable Energy Quotas) in 1996. His popular guide to TEQs, Energy and the Common Purpose, was published in 2005 (third edition, 2007). His book, Lean Logic, was published posthumously in 2011.
Shaun Chamberlin joined The Lean Economy Connection as TEQs Development Director in 2006. His book, The Transition Timeline, was published in March 2009 (Green Books). His wider work is detailed at: www.darkoptimism.org
