This was my presentation at the #LSSC12 Conference this year. It was not my typical Lean Sales and Marketing theme. Instead, I demonstrated what I have learned and applied from many of my podcast guests.

A couple of the reactions from my discussion on Twitter:

The Value Network Modeling of Verna Allee, M.A.,Co-founder and CEO of Value Networks LLC intrigued everyone.I also introduced This is Service Design Thinking which I found most people unfamiliar with.  I may have failed to deliver on the SDCA, PDCA, EDCA concepts and in particular the message I was trying to send on Standard Work. Not sure that Standard Work should just be left out of introductory Knowledge Work conversations. No matter how strongly I feel about it.

The links below expand on the main concepts of my talk.

Can the principles of Lean be applied to your daily life?  Dan Markovitz, founder and owner of TimeBack Management certainly thinks so. He has developed a consultancy specializing in improving individual and organizational performance through the application of lean concepts. Dan has backed up his claim in his latest book,  A Factory of One: Applying Lean Principles to Banish Waste and Improve Your Personal Performance.  Dan feels Lean can be just as powerful for yourself as it for organizations.Dan Markovitz

After talking to Dan, I reviewed the 5 basic principles of Lean:

  1. Identify Value
  2. Map Value Stream
  3. Create Flow
  4. Establish Pull
  5. Seek Perfection

I certainly found an interesting relation to how I apply them from an organizational standpoint and how I could use them to improve my day. Dan gave a few tips and encouraged me to find the root cause of several of my most nagging problems. I can’t say the choices were easy but I was certainly able to address them and make decisions accordingly. Now, if I can only sustain it!!!
