Rodent Regatta

Yesterday, during the Baldrige work, I met a man who believes quite staunchly that Lean is the only way to go. “No other methodology for improving a business is better than Lean.” His Bible is a book by Womack and Jones titled Lean Thinking, 2nd Edition. He said 2nd edition about eight times, so something apparently just wasn’t right about the first edition.

It’s fascinating to me how quickly people take positions that rule out everything except the concepts or beliefs that they hold. We see it in culture wars, in web design, in religion, in politics and the list can go on for pages.

Normal posting resumes soon.

Better yet, Baldrige training will be over soon!
