I love that our @KaiNexus presenter, Harry Kenworthy, worked directly with Dr. #Deming *and* Toyota in Japan. Great experience.

I love that Kenworthy emphasizes #Lean not just as cost cutting, but capacity expansion. Not just tools, but culture pic.twitter.com/M1bSjfjypb

Kenworthy – in a #Lean culture, employees don't just give ideas to the supervisor, they should participate in implementing them. #Kaizen

Kenworthy made me LOL when he referred to suggestion systems as "rejection systems." Thankfully I was muted. #Lean cc @KaiNexus

Kenworthy cites 20% productivity gain in a government setting using 5S & #Lean.
— Mark Graban (@MarkGraban) September 13, 2016
Kenworthy – #Lean leaders need 1) ability to coach (be coached on this) 2) help people find waste (don't just delegate it), 3) PDCA skills

5300 bad employees or a bad system created by bad management? https://t.co/8s6MTCXond
