I am really excited for this week and its not just because I get to leave the damp Northwest for a couple of warm days in Florida.  Myself and two of my co-workers will be presenting at the Lean Enterprise Institutes annual Lean summit.  The purpose of our session is to share out learnings on creating Managers Standard Work.  It is such an honor to present in front of so many great Lean thinkers with so much great experience.  My hope is that our story and materials will be of value and that folks walk away with not only a deeper understanding, but also with some learnings that they can apply immediately upon returning to the their organizations.

I spent a couple of hours this morning running through the presentation and I have to say I am proud of the work we have been doing and the progress we have made.  There is a really interesting story to be told.  In three years we have moved from applying Lean one tool at a time to an enterprise wide transformation anchored in improving our management systems.  Ever day the organization seems to be learning more and as a result we understand more about just how much more there is to learn!  I guess it is our turn to stop and share with others what we have picked up along the way.  So many other organizations have helped us out that it is probably about time.

I hope that some of you are also attending the summit.  If you are please swing by and say hello.  I will be back to blogging next weekend.
