It’s easy to see why Toyota/Lean works well with manufacturing and operations. Continuous service and operations needs continual improvements. However, there are times when you need to forget all about process and workflow in order to break new ground. I would place breakthroughs in research and product development right in the Danny category.

site needs far more attention. I’ll probably be back again to see more, thanks for the information!

Just taking results at face value would lead to an incorrect conclusion.

Well, I never thought of it that way, but you have quite a point! One of the tenets of Lean/Toyota Way is “respect for people”, but if you take that out, then yeah- you’re spot on! :)

They will naturally repeat the whole process with Jess if he ever happens to burn out himself and produce anything less than a complete success.
And that there is the result of their continuously improving money making process.

Overall results do count as you will have a hard time running a company that doesn’t eventually deliver. But with a process that can be improved, based on previous results, it is just more likely that your company will eventually deliver, vs. a shop that leaves things to pure chance. It’s basically what the CMM too tells you you should do

I can compare this explanation to explanation of the phrase “Good artists copy, great artists steal” in terms of being simple but yet not that obvious and misinterpreted a lot. I have seen number of explanations, but they don’t reveal the idea as far as I can see it:

– if you just copy, original author is still known and has a credit for what he has done before you
– when you steal, original author is completely forgotten and you have all the credits on your own

MS did have smartphones with touch screen and tons of apps years before first iPhone arrivied. But who cares about it now?.. That what the real stealing is.
