Book Signing

Story of a Lean JourneyIf you are going to the AME Conference (Oct 19-23 in Kentucky), be sure to stop by our booth to meet James K. Lewis, author of Story of a Lean Journey.

This is an easy 1-day-read story about a CEO named John, who hires a consultant named Bill to help guide him through the unfamiliar role of being a Lean Change Agent.

Although the story is about introducing and nurturing lean in a metal fabrication company, the learning lessons can be applied to any industry offering any type of product or service.

Although the case study gets into some very specific examples for how to overcome some very specific common problems, (illustrating the use of several Systems2win templates), the biggest value is that this is a book written specifically for an executive-level Change Agent, with helpful guidance for things like what you need from your board, and how to get it, and how to negotiate rough seas when inevitable doubts and storms shake the foundations of your little lean boat.

If you are an executive, then you will very much appreciate the clear and unpretentious way that Jim Lewis makes it easy to understand why the role of Change Agent is the single most important factor affecting the success of any lean implementation. And you will appreciate the common-sense tips for how to be an effective Change Agent for your company.

Note: There will be no free webinars on Wednesday October 21, because Systems2win will be at the AME Conference.

Whats New?
New Template: To Learn Excel

Systems2win's newest template has 3 purposes:

  1. To learn some of the most powerful and useful features of Microsoft Excel.
  2. To learn Systems2win's innovations that make Excel even more useful.
  3. To allow a Supervisor to validate that the Learner has learned - with one quick glance.

Learn ExcelA supervisor can simply instruct a person to complete the learning topics in this template.
With a single glance when when the person brings it back, the supervisor can instantly validate that the person has learned what they need to know about Excel in order to be successful using Systems2win templates.

If all the cells are green on the Summary worksheet, then the Supervisor can confidently make a quick entry in the Cross Training Matrix - indicating that the learner has learned.

Training MatrixAnd every month, the Change Agent can glance at each Cross Training Matrix maintained by each Supervisor - to verify that everyone in the company is indeed learning each of the things that they need to learn in order to truly understand and implement lean throughout the organization.
