One of the Amazon best-selling work! Toyota believes that leaders truly develop through daily experiences at the gemba. In reality, gemba is a principle for managing, developing and improving people and processes.

Read my Amazon best-selling book and you will see why a gap remains between successful and less successful companies in terms of process management, people management, and the adaptability of culture.

Type two muda does not add value and can be quickly eliminated. An illustration is a process in a process village with disconnected phases that may be swiftly converted into a cell where unnecessary material moves and inventory are no longer necessary. A very small portion of all value-stream activities truly generate value as perceived by the client. The most effective way to boost business performance is to stop doing the numerous unnecessary things.

Written in simple terms with real-world relevance, this book is your starting point for building flow and balancing workloads the Lean way.

I numeri ti dicono cosa succede. Non ti dicono perché. La tua organizzazione misura attività — conferenze fatte, partecipanti registrati, borse erogate — ma non ha mai definito quale cambiamento vuole generare nel mondo. "Theory of Change, the Right Way" è il metodo pratico per partire dal futuro che vuoi creare e lavorare a ritroso fino alle azioni di oggi. Con il backwards mapping, le assumption nascoste e le sentinel metrics, imparerai a progettare impatto misurabile invece di sperare che le cose migliorino. Training from the Back of the Room: impari facendo, non ascoltando.
