    This review is from: Creating a Kaizen Culture: Align the Organization, Achieve Breakthrough Results, and Sustain the Gains (Hardcover)
    If you are a leader of an organisation and you wish to nurture and grow a culture of engagement in continuous improvement you want to buy this book! This is an insightful and deeply thought provoking book written by people who have many years (decades) experience practising Lean.
    Of all the elements required to achieve a successful Lean transformation shaping the culture can be the most challenging. There is nothing more valuable than being able to learn from the thoughts and experience of others. It is with gratitude that I would like to thank Jon, Mike and Jaime for taking the time to share their thoughts and experience that it may be of help to the rest of us on our journey towards excellence. This book is a rare gem.

    Read it now: a much needed look into what it means to develop a lean culture!, October 20, 2013

    Culture, learning, adaptiveness have become casual tools in the managerial toolbox – but what do they really mean? This much needed book clarifies what culture actually means, and how to focus on a kaizen culture. Kaizen remains the breakthrough departure point of any lean effort – in the author’s terms, a people-centric, problem solving worldview to benefit society. Without understanding kaizen as the central focus point of lean, there will be neither results nor sustainability. Easy to read, with wonderful illustrations across a large spread of industries and historical nuggets, this book is a much needed addition to the lean field, and enjoyably so!
