A Lean Journey 
Another milestone. Not sure if this is unlucky since it is 13 but I’ll take it. Tomorrow marks the 13th year publishing articles on A Lean Journey Blog.
I’d like to think that I turned my naïve 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.
I’ve been doing this over a quarter of my lifetime so perhaps it has been somewhat successful but let’s look at the numbers. In previous years we looked at the number visitors, Facebook fan, tweeps on Twitter, and LinkedIn members as an indication of growth.
So with this milestone, here are some numbers from the blog:

Using the Gemba Walk to Learn and Engage
I am so grateful to everyone who has read my posts and/or followed this blog and my other blogs. Some of you have been with me since I began this journey. Even though we never have met, you comment on my posts and continually send me words of encouragement. Blogging has been a much more rewarding experience than I imagined it could be!
I would like to thank all the visitors and contributors to A Lean Journey Blog this year and every year. It has been a successful journey but we aren’t done yet. Please, share your feedback so that A Lean Journey can be even more successful in the future.
