Lean is the GLP-1 drug for business.
Organizational scar tissue builds up over time. Fat, bloat, scar tissue, bureaucracy. Call it whatever you want. Lean is the tool specifically designed to address waste and non-value add activity. Does your organization have an EXPLICIT way of calling out waste? Share your ideas in the comments.

@JasonPremoMFG Did you qualify the measurement process - Type 1 gauge study?
Repeats and replicates!

@bscholl I got called out for using, “hit by a bus” for key personnel risk.
Now I use, “if they hit the lottery”.

@TaylorPearsonMe You had to have intentionally inverted that spelling!
I see you :)

@Math_files Careful, you’re approaching your limit!

@LeilaniDowding Next door: a steel mill, waste water treatment plant, coal-fired power plant, and an oil refinery up the street … but your video didn’t mention those neighbors!

I asked my producers not to make any clips from the dad grief portion but enough people reached out about this part I changed my mind.

Jim Nantz on what Arnold Palmer told him about his dad is one of the most impactful things I’ve ever heard. A lot of people need to hear this.

@JohnNosta Great framework for thinking about learning.
The thing I picked up on is the idea of 'discernment'.
It seems that discernment requires some background in a particular subject. Science can be objective and learned from 'first principles'. But how do we discern cultural issues?

@nikunj “Every path is hard. Pick the one leading somewhere new.”
What a great philosophy!

I was (rightfully) not invited to give a commencement speech,

But if I had to give one to the CS grads of 2025, here is what I'd say..

"Start knocking"

@Andercot Careful, you could be accused of “gate-keeping” 😂

@AtomsNotBits This is a case where atoms AND bits are important. Cybersecurity of our water infrastructure is one of the most vulnerable areas precisely because of the many special districts you cited.

Yesterday's Thing-That-Shall-Not-Be-Mentioned has so poisoned my timeline that I need to retrain the algorithm.

Drop as much techy, engineering, aerospacey, high performance madness you can here and I'll like the lot. Link me up!

@chaseheckendorn Get after it, buddy.
Show us the way!

@ejames_c Maybe you could write it from a W Edwards Deming point of view?
