It does not mention Six Sigma, Lean, etc. I don't know if this is representative of all marketing knowledge out there, but it doesn't surprise me.Maciejhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02705655507016023989noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7108456.post-13193370255278553802007-04-07T15:01:00.000-05:002007-04-07T15:01:00.000-05:002007-04-07T15:01:00.000-05:00If anyone doesn't like the Kanban explanation on Wikipedia, you're free to improve it. That would be "kaizen" in action, right?Mark Grabanhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07953086531083611251noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7108456.post-84188098262361669722007-04-06T16:11:00.000-05:002007-04-06T16:11:00.000-05:002007-04-06T16:11:00.000-05:00Mark, Rob and Mike - Whoops, I fell into the trap as well. Posted a correction on my blog moments ago!<BR/><BR/>I presume that Seth Godin doesn't allow direct comments on his blog because his site is high profile and would be a massive blog spam magnet. Trackbacks take a bit more work on the spamming front, so less likely to overwhelm. Hopefully I have not angered the spam gods (devils?) by pointing this out now! ;)Dan Keldsenhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15989163772630815426noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7108456.post-30802590601977207472007-04-06T14:37:00.000-05:002007-04-06T14:37:00.000-05:002007-04-06T14:37:00.000-05:00I'm glad to see I was not the only one to take Mr. Godin to task for this.

If you follow his highlighted kanban link you get the Wikipedia definition, which is none too clear, either.Mike Gardnerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09510642077813476873noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7108456.post-60441351854496060702007-04-06T10:57:00.000-05:002007-04-06T10:57:00.000-05:002007-04-06T10:57:00.000-05:00Mark - I agree with you 100%. I posted about this earlier today here: http://tinyurl.com/2yxcx5<BR/><BR/>Seth clearly needs a Lean 101 class before confusing the entire issue. Lean implementation is hard enough without half-truths being circulated.<BR/><BR/>Robroberthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07965141789034116201noreply@blogger.com
