We've been adding to our 5 Whys training. In a day or two, we'll be making some more lessons free to our gues members for a short time. That will include a new 5 Whys form, and some trainer materials. Sign up at https://t.co/rNzVFja9bQ if you aren't already subscribed.

I'm rolling out a new type of content at Continuous Improvement Central. I call them "Crash Courses" and they are quick 5-ish minute videos leaders can play for their teams, then send them off with some homework. https://t.co/ixkaSSdf4o

[Jeff Hajek @Velaction]

There are a whole set of Lean afflictions plaguing continuous improvement efforts. https://t.co/hT2EqvJDsr So far, I have posted Flat Surface Syndrome, Squirrel Chasing Syndrome, Hoarderism, and Functional Blindness. There's about 8 or 9 more on the way.

[Jeff Hajek @Velaction]

One of my goals for the year is to get better at regularly producing new continuous improvement content. Starting out with terms. Added a whole bunch recently. See them at https://t.co/60yZUspbBn. Listed most recent first (I also have an alphabetical listing, of course)

Today's poll question is about how robust of a Continuous Improvement team you should have for your company. Let us know how many internal experts/facilitators you think a company needs. https://t.co/DuKCKRRZ6k

I hate editing. Wrapped up the second review of my Continuous Improvement Companion, and am now monotonously updating the online version. So mind numbing, but definitely worth it. Clearly highlights the principle of doing things right the first time. https://t.co/ccydnVWaMp

[Jeff Hajek @Velaction]

Started back up on posting my Lean Training System modules on YouTube again after a week break. Waste Identification starts Phase 4 videos. https://t.co/OnyclkWzyR

[Jeff Hajek @Velaction]

I'd like to hear from you about your views on Lean and Continuous Improvement. Please answer my poll question about how long it takes to become "Lean"/create a CI Culture. Thanks! https://t.co/aWp1aHkssn

[Jeff Hajek @Velaction]

We are moving on from problem solving and are wrapping up phase 3 (Starting Out) of our Continuous Improvement Development System videos. Our Lean Office Overview is the final episode before we start posting phase 4 (Building the Foundation) next week.

We've gotten a dozen of our Lean Training System videos posted. We are deep in the problem solving section now with our latest video on Flow Charts. https://t.co/wYQdiPB2WY

[Jeff Hajek @Velaction]

Important tip about recording videos. They sound better if your microphone is plugged in. Just highlights the importance of using a checklist even for task you've done a hundred times already.

[Jeff Hajek @Velaction]
