I’d like to
think that I turned my naive endeavor to share learning along my own journey
into a successful contribution in the Lean community. As I have said before
this labor of love has been a tremendous learning process both from the great
fans and other colleagues online that I exchange with and from the process of
distilling my own learning with you.
I love

I would like to
thank all the visitors and contributors to A Lean Journey Blog this past
year. It has been a successful Journey
this past year. Please, share your feedback so that A Lean Journey can be even
more successful next year.
Tim someday you should go to work for a company and actually do the Lean journey you write about.You will get great first hand experience doing some of the many Lean things you blog about. It would give you much greater insight and perspectives of Lean in its truest forms and functions. It goes with the old Chinese proverb story about the boy learning from the "wind in the box". You can't capture it. You must experience it to know what it is really all about.
ReplyDeleteHi William. I do. If you follow me then you know I do practice what I preach. Over 20 years I have been implementing Lean practices into several businesses from the ground up (like Lucent Technologies, JDSU, and Wiremold). In some cases there was a traditional push factory and in others there were parts of a lean culture. They all had different problems so that the adoption of Lean has been different at each of them. It isn't the tools but rather the people aspects that I find are customized.
DeleteAny way most of what I write about comes from some experience I've had along the way.
Happy Birthday 'A Lean Journey' (Tim) - I have been following your blog for many years and have learned so much from it. Thank you so much, keep inspiring, Best Regards, Siobhain
