Lean Six Sigma Leadership

As a Lean Six Sigma professional you will have problems that a chart or data set will not be able to handle. This is a bit of tips and tricks to handle it.

Priorities need to be known by all. If not then your projects will fail.

Here is the website I talk about in the podcast.  https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2013/05/help-save-podcasting

This is a great ending as I get into a rant on what needs to be done for a long term Lean, Six Sigma, and Project Implementation. I also go into some detail of the new podcast.

Getting ready for the final episode. 

Going into the updates to the new site. New podcasts will continue through to Episode 26. After that new title and a supporting website. I may be on a couple of other podcasts in the near future. Second part will be on ISO and Six Sigma Myths that continue to this day.

Starting out with what I am doing with the podcast and the website. Then transition to a definition of Process and Continous Improvement.

Had a conversation about "What is Continous Improvement (CI)?" So here are my thoughts. Also dealing with a multi generational work environment. Also please go to the Linked In site and give me a critic of what is there. http://www.linkedin.com/profile/view?id=13723071&trk=tab_pro   Lean6leadership@gmail.com http://protacult.blogspot.com  

This epeisode goes into developing a Knowledge Retention system. Considering the aging of the US poplulation and a transition from one type of record retetion system based in paper to digital this is improtant. Next I spend some time talking about the future of Lean, Six Sigma, and Project Management.

A discussion on rewards and incentives and how to build a program based on your goals.

A discussion of Lean V Toyota Production System (TPS) and how you can customize to fit your organization. Or at least what you have to consider to bring it on board. Also an appeal for anyone who wants to do an interview as well. http://protacult.blogspot.com lean6leadership@gmail.com  

Establishing and reaching goals is the path to continous improvement. This is a discussion of all that can go wrong and how to focus on the right goals. Build the correct method of determining the direction of the improvement activity and then follow through.   https://protacult.blogspot.com lean6leadership@gmail.com  

Greetings This one is only 30min based on feedback. I will try to keep them short and more to the point. Value Stream Map, VSM. I consider it the fundamental part of the improvement process. You do not know what you need to work on unless you can see it. The VSM will show you the whole picture.   http://protacult.blogspot.com lean6leadership@gmail.com  

This episode is short and to the point. What do you do to maintain the edge you have? More classes? Seminars? Confrencesses? Yes all of the above and train others. Next episode I will go into training others. This one is about training yourself and keeping yourself up to speed. You are already doing that by listening to this podcast and others. This is more of validation of that effort. lean6leadership@gmail.com http://protacult.blogspot.com/ http://www.linkedin.com/pub/martin-hickey-mbb-ssmbb-pmp-mba-capm/4/719/713 MartinJHickey

Lean, Six Sigma, and Project Management in fiction. Have you seen references to these methods in fiction? I mean other than 30 Rock and Dilbert. You see them in fiction directed at the niche of professional learning. That is done for training. Here I talk about where to find good fiction that you can use to add to the system you can use to train yourself and others. I also talk about the best possible training (and also impossible) scenario for the higher level practitioner. Then I breakdown how you can use that to train your people.
