I wish I could attend in person, but I'll be presenting, via recorded video, to a Lean healthcare conference in Spain in September, talking about the present and future of Lean healthcare in the U.S., as well as Kaizen and KaiNexus.
Auren Consulting has published an email interview with me that they translated into Spanish (which you can read in my original English).
Auren has also, with my permission, translated Chapter 1 of Healthcare Kaizen into Spanish (PDF). The whole book hasn't been translated for sale (nor has  Lean Hospitals, even though that book is being translated into eight languages).
Please scroll down (or click) to post a comment. Connect with me on LinkedIn.
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.
Thanks for your entry! I am sure we will meet in Spain soon!! And you will be able to meet face to face with some of the leading Healthcare Organizations implementing lean.
Your interview is also available in original English at http://www.leanauren.com/2012/07/entrevista-mark-graban-experto-de-lean.html and for sure much better than Google translator ;-)
We are working on an improved version of the chapter (nicer layout and some gramatical corrections which we will send in the comming days).
Last, but not least, we hope to help to have your books translated to Spanish sometime in the future. They are definetly a “must read”.
Again, it is a pleasure and a luxury having you with us even by video,
Kind regards,
Ignacio Tornos
Socio Auren Consultores
Thanks, Ignacio. I’ll post those updates when you send them to me. I appreciate your help very much.
Here is the video that I recorded for this conference, with Spanish subtitles:
