I just realized that Sunday was what appears to be the 5th anniversary / birthday of my Lean Blog. I always let that milestone slip by. This was my first modest post on January 3, 2005. Other early posts can be found here.
Maybe over the weekend, I'll post some proper reflections about this journey (without calling it “hansei,” I suppose).
Thanks to all of my readers!

Let’s work together to build a culture of continuous improvement and psychological safety. If you're a leader looking to create lasting change—not just projects—I help organizations:
- Engage people at all levels in sustainable improvement
- Shift from fear of mistakes to learning from them
- Apply Lean thinking in practical, people-centered ways
Interested in coaching or a keynote talk? Let’s start a conversation.
Since it didn’t appear as a related post, here was my “4 years of blogging” post from last year:

The other years (1, 2, and 3) should appear in the bullets above.
Congrats on 5 years!!! You have done a wonderful job with the blog, Mark. I look forward to reading it for years to come.
Congrats, Mark. Lots of progress in 5 years.
