Summary/Abstract: The article examines the issue of lean government, a concept used to improve the functioning of public sector institutions. It first describes current trends in the public sector and the concept of new public management. It then defines lean government and classifies losses brought on by the specifics of public administration. It outlines key barriers to implementing the methods that have been used to improve commercial organisations, and presents guidelines for applying the lean approach in public sector organisations. The article concludes by looking at the need to introduce this concept in the organisations in Poland’s public sector.
