Can we build organizations to foster good ideas?

Posted by: business901 | Comments (0)

New ideas come from networks and forming new networks create new ideas! People often credit their ideas to individual "Eureka!" moments. But Steven Johnson shows how history tells a different story. His fascinating tour takes us from the "liquid networks" of London’s coffee houses to Charles Darwin’s long, slow hunch to today’s high-velocity web.

Great story on how GPS was discovered. Fascinating!

Has Technology Killed Time?

Posted by: business901 | Comments (2)

Some of the most popular books and even a few of my most popular blog posts are all centered around words like:

Fast

Rapid

Speed

Now

Immediate

Instantaneous

Quick

Has Technology killed time?

Whatever happen to the words, I need to sleep on it or let me think about it? Can you imagine your kids saying that or even accepting that answer? I still remember when a quick answer seemed imprudent, even impulsive. Maybe, I am just showing my age?

BTW: I think FORA.tv has a great looking video.

Transforming your Supply Chain to a Lean Fulfillment Stream eBook

Posted by: business901 | Comments (4)

This is a transcription of the Businss901 Podcast with Robert Martichenko, CEO and Founder of LeanCor. We discussed applying Lean Principles to the Supply Chain. I found many of his answers very unique and his approaches straight forward and practical. At the upcoming Lean Logistics Summit, June 22nd and 23rd in Cincinnati, OH, Robert leads off the event as the keynote speaker.

Robert Martichenko co-authored the Lean Enterprise Institute’s newest lean workbook, Building a Lean Fulfillment Stream. Building on the concepts of waste, flow, and pull, this pioneering workbook illustrates how to analyze the traditional supply chain as a flowing stream of products and information. Building a Lean Fulfillment Stream provides the steps to a comprehensive, real-life implementation process for optimizing your entire fulfillment stream from raw materials to customers. This book follows the Lean Workbook format popularized by the publisher, Lean Enterprise Institute.
