LSSA Carnival – 2

By Ron Pereira Updated on May 16th, 2017

Here are some of my favorite posts from around the blogosphere this week.

John Hunter, in response to one of my more controversial posts, offered an excellent take on how bad management results in layoffs.

Over on the iSixSigma blog Michael Marx shared an inspiring story of how the US Army nears $2 billion in Lean Six Sigma savings.

Mark Graban told us about how Nike plans to just do it with Lean. It will be interesting to watch this story.

GM made the news (again) as they boasted of nearly matching Toyota in productivity. Kevin, of Evolving Excellence fame, responded with a polite “who cares.”

Next, Seth Godin wrote an interesting piece on being coachable. Very relevant stuff for many of us.

My favorite non Lean or Six Sigma post came from the coolest Alaskan blogger around. Michelle, a gal with serious writing skills, offered some excellent housekeeping tips for those of us that blog.

And last, but certainly not least, Jon Lennon… I mean Miller, left us with a potential Grammy winning performance with his remake of the Beatle’s classic: hey-juneka.
