This is my version of a Toyota diagram (click on it for a larger view) showing the “integrated system” of the Toyota Production System. Notice how “Human Development” is put in the middle, no surprise there.
The three balancing sides of the triangle are instructive, “People,” “Technology,” and “Process.” All three have to work in balance, being supportive of each other. All of this together creates the Organizational Culture.
Have you used this diagram in your Lean efforts? What do you take away from it? Has it helped you?
If you’re working to build a culture where people feel safe to speak up, solve problems, and improve every day, I’d be glad to help. Let’s talk about how to strengthen Psychological Safety and Continuous Improvement in your organization.
You can look at it as a burger; with the two slices of bread representing Technology and Process, and the meat representing the People.
Now, what makes a good burger?
Furthermore, a burger without a slice of bread is not a burger.
I just find it easy to remember and constantly keep it in mind.
