Fad diets come and go, but the tried and true way to fitness is a change in lifestyle. The same principle stands for health care design and construction. Implementing lean principles is not a quick-fix solution, but requires first a shift in mentality and a mindset that accepts growth and change. Just like with a fitness plan, the key is tailoring the right lean plan for a project. The key lies in figuring out where to start, how to keep it going, and what "lean" really means in each setting. You do not have to be an expert to begin integrating lean into your processes.
Within the life science industry, the definition of an “incubator” varies widely. For life science real estate, an incubator is a facility equipped with “ready to go” laboratory and office space designed specifically for early-stage biotechnology companies. Biotech incubators nurture fledgling companies toward advancing their science by providing the services and environment necessary to achieve success in their research, development and eventual commercialization of their products, including the cultivation of scientific collaboration with diverse, like-minded ventures located within its facility.
