About this title

Synopsis

YOUR FIRST STEP TO SUCCESSFUL PROCESS IMPROVEMENT.

Lean Thinking is a method to reduce waste in business processes. Many attempts to implement Lean Thinking fail to reach their goals. But you can, by linking the efficiency of Lean Thinking to the needs of employees. By using Lean Thinking the right way, every organization can improve output and quality while developing people and improving satisfaction and engagement.

The People Side of Lean Thinking presents how to prepare and support employees for change, enabling them to become effective change agents, and explains how to use Lean Thinking tools to help employees thrive.

Many chapters end with comprehensive to-do checklists. Everything you need is in a concise, tight package.

Author Robert Brown has written seven business books, has a doctorate in psychology, is a certified Lean leader and has almost fifty years of experience as a human factors business consultant.

If you currently use Lean Thinking, The People Side will significantly enhance your people and process outcomes. If you are not using Lean Thinking, this is a practical introduction. In either event, this book will improve your organization.

About the Author

Bob's father was on a team at Ford Motor Company that purchased the steel needed to build cars. They had to figure out how much of what quality of steel at what price had to be where and when and how much. He was a nut on efficiency to the degree of throwing off his seat belt blocks from our house and enduring the buzz just so it took less time to exit the car once we arrived home.
 

With people, he's the same kind of nut. Bob wants people interactions to be clean, easy, effective and satisfying. 

Bob Brown is the author of twenty books, including The People Side of Lean Thinking and The HST Model for Change. He has been a performance improvement consultant for forty-five years and has spoken to and helped thousands of people in the United States, Great Britain and Australia. He has a BA in psychology from the University of Michigan, a PHD in psychology from the United States International University and is the president of Collective Wisdom, Inc. 

He lives with his wife and a few animals, wild and domestic, near Seattle.
