There is no Team in Kaizen

By

The Friday Video Series continues with Dr. Michael Balle, the Gemba Coach at the Lean Enterprise Institute. The next series of videos has a central theme of Kaizen. Dr. Balle starts out the program with a statement that floored me, Kaizen is profoundly individualistic.

Dr. Balle is a multiple Shingo Prize winner as an author of the The Gold Mine and The Lean Manager. His newest Shingo Prize was on the adaption of The Gold Mine: A Novel of Lean Turnaround to an audiobook that features performances by multiple readers who bring its realistic business story and characters to life.
