John Shook: "There’s no 12-step program that will get you to the #Lean enterprise. It’s situational." You can't just copy Toyota.

Shook: #Lean transformation is “not implementing series of steps or solutions but addressing key questions of purpose, process & people.”

John Shook: "The purpose of an A3 is to make us stop and think… and not jump to conclusions." #Lean

John Shook quotes the great Paul O'Neill (a former CEO): "You can't order people to change. That's not how the brain works."

"If you can't measure it, you can't improve it." That gets thrown around as gospel truth, but it's really a very untrue statement. #Lean
— Mark Graban (@MarkGraban) January 10, 2017
I guess I don't like absolute statements. It's better to measure but saying it's always necessary can stifle improvement efforts. https://t.co/Er2aMlRmFd

Tables turn – I just told my PT provider "I'm sorry, but my first availability is Jan 26." I've picked up in healthcare lingo over time.
