Tag: Measures of Success

Jeff Hunter and I have taught related workshops before, him on the first day (teaching about strategy and Lean), and me on the second (teaching about Measures of Success). We are working to deliver our first COMBINED workshop that integrates topics of strategy and metrics. We're thinking of doing this in Orlando in March 2019.

I'll be presenting a free webinar on Wednesday, October 31st at 1 pm ET... as you might notice, that's Halloween day! Here's the description from the KaiNexus website: Metrics & Statistics Don't Have to be Scary

Thanks to editor Roberto Priolo and "Planet Lean," the online publication of the Lean Global Network for hosting this discussion about author Michael Ballé about my book Measures of Success. "Metrics Matter"

Today, I'll be appearing live as a guest on the live internet show "Quality Digest Live." You can watch live at 2 PM ET / 11 AM PT on Friday... QualityDigest.com also recently published a review of my book Measures of Success and we'll be discussing the book and more on the show. I also recently discovered this short podcast episode / review about my book, from the "Improve Something Today" podcast by Brian Kerr...

Thanks to my friend Katie Anderson for writing a blog post about my latest book Measures of Success. Visit the post and you'll see a link that goes to a book giveaway contest, where I am giving away (with Katie's help, of course), three copies of the eBook (the paperback book is coming later this year).

oday's episode is the second time that friend and podcast guest Jamie Flinchbaugh has turned the tables by playing host to interview me about my new book, Measures of Success: React Less, Lead Better, Improve More, which has recently been the #1 best selling book in Amazon's Total Quality Management category. Jamie is very knowledgeable on these topics, so he was a great person to interview me and to have more of a conversation about choosing the right metrics and then managing them the right way. I hope you enjoy the conversation and future podcasts will return to the usual format where I interview guests and try to let them do most of the talking.

I presented a 30-minute webinar on Monday, August 27 at 1 pm EDT. This one was hosted by Lean Frontiers as part of their summer webinar series.

Here are a few items and thoughts related to "Process Behavior Charts" and my book Measures of Success. I'll share some charts related to sales of my book about charts and management. I'll also share an updated article of mine and two podcasts that had me on to talk about the book.

Hosted by Catalysis, I shared some key concepts from my new book Measures of Success (now available in the Apple Books store among other places). This webinar was geared toward a healthcare audience that is also, likely, interested in or practicing elements of Lean Daily Management. This was held Monday, August 20 at noon EDT.

It's been a while since I've contributed something to the Lean Enterprise Institute's online publication, The Lean Post (see past articles). Today, they're allowing me to introduce some ideas from my book Measures of Success. Many "Lean thinkers" just haven't been exposed to these ideas. Many haven't read Deming or Wheeler... it's not their fault for not knowing of Process Behavior Charts and methods like this. But, I hope this post helps people see that "bowling charts" and "red/green" analysis are not the only way (or the best way) to look at metrics. My article: "React Less and Improve More by Using SPC More Effectively"

Here is a recorded webinar... I played host (along with KaiNexus) for this webinar that was held Tuesday, August 14 at 1 pm ET.
