A Lean Journey 
It is hard to
believe but tomorrow marks the 8th anniversary of A Lean Journey Blog and as
tradition here each year I take the opportunity to reflect. The act of
“self-reflection” is called Hansei is Japanese. It is the practice of
continuous improvement that consists of looking back and thinking about how a
process can be improved.
I’d like to
think that I turned my naive endeavor to share learning along my own journey
into a successful contribution in the Lean community. As I have said before
this labor of love has been a tremendous learning process both from the great
fans and other colleagues online that I exchange with and from the process of
distilling my own learning with you.
