Far too many organizations associate Lean with sporadic and episodic projects or events. I think KaiNexus can help accelerate the acceptance of daily kaizen in the healthcare world.

The comments shared are excellent. <br/><br/>We find having reviewed hundreds or thousands of kaizen events that the most frequent way to fail is in planning and follow up. Follow up is much more about leadership and discipline, but planning is very easily fixed by good planning. That's why we developed an A3 planning document to structure the process of planning more thoroughly based on specific failures in planning which we will be posting an announcing in the coming weeks. This will be a free tool for lean practitioners to aid in their self-lead lean efforts.<br/><br/>- Jamie F Thanks for executing and posting this excellent survey Mark.
