Daraus sind etwa 25 Beiträge entstanden: Praktiken, die in der Innovations-Praxis wirklich funktionieren. Teils mit Downloads von einfachen “Tools” oder mit Kurz-Videos.
Diese Beiträge nutzen wir immer wieder gezielt in Kundenprojekten.

Lean Leadership. How to Foster Fruit Farmers.
Focussing on “low hanging fruits” is a common management practice to get a team started and also motivated. But what after that?

Gemba. Our Office Cat.
Gemba walks denote the action of going to see the actual process, understand the work, ask questions, and learn. It is known as one fundamental part of Lean management philosophy. (Wikipedia)
“Gemba” is Japanese for “the real place”. It’s the shopfloor or the offices where we do our actual work.
