5S at the end of the week

Popularity: 20%

It¹s Friday. End of the week and completion of the first cross-functional team effort that took place in my office. I just completed the 5S of that space ­ putting away post-it notes, moving chairs out, putting coffee cups in the trash. It was an interesting personal ceremony, doing a quick change of the space from a group work area to a solo work area. The ceremony allowed me to reflect on what happened this week ­ we were given a challenge by our leadership to solve, and carried forth from discovery, analysis, to a solid discussion of our options and an action plan.
I would like to see this space do a quick change back into a cross functional team huddle space again soon. The culture is changing. We never would have done this before LEAN.
Even here, not everything has been tried before.
