I'm back from vacation… and will ramp back up into regular blogging soon, including a few Lean-related vacation stories. I mostly stayed off Twitter, but I have a few tweets to share below…
Here's the latest installment of “Key Tweets,” a weekly post that summarizes some of my tweets (or retweets) from the week, including pictures and other fun stuff. Follow me @MarkGraban and join the fun and the conversation. See the previous installments of Key Tweets here.

#ASHHRA16 speaker asks if #JustCulture is passé topic, if everyone has already adopted it. Nope. No more so than #Lean & #Kaizen.
