Learning about Lean -- After a fairly prolific start this year, with the string of pieces on estimates and buffers and the prescriptions series, and even a fewpieces last month that triggered a bunch of comments, I seem to have run into a bit of a block. You might have noticed the prevalence of short notes on linked quotes rather than the longer pieces. No worries. That's what blogs are really about -- the links. And there are plenty of good things going on out there. I know I'll get back in the groove soon with some larger pieces and themes, but in the meantime, I'll continue pointing to other good stuff out there.
Particularly, this week, be sure to check out someone who's recent period of relative quiet has been broken with two great pieces. Joe Ely, a friend of this blog for a while now (One of our collaborations is now a year old!), has put out a piece on kaizen and one on learning from one's friends that are well worth looking into.
Yeah, that's what this blogging stuff is all about -- learning from the friends of a friend.
