In this episode, I discuss a project I’m really excited about, the 2nd book release in the Lean Six Sigma for Good book series.
This is the 2nd collection of real-life experiences and stories from Lean and Six Sigma practitioners who have spent time at the “gemba” with not-for-profit organizations. They have generously offered to write a chapter about lessons learned and tools they have applied. There are 8 chapters in total.
- Joe Wojniak and Lynn McCullough: Improving Thrift Shop Donations (interview with authors) – Proceeds donated to TRU Community Care
- Tim Turner: Helping Others By Following The Toyota Way (podcast interview with Tim) – Proceeds donated to Center for Quality People and Organizations (CQPO)
- Douglas Cooper: Lessons from Liberia – Standard Work as the Foundation for Lean Practices – Proceeds donated to Mercy Corps
- Anita Havemann: Reducing Time and Complexity in Nonprofit Accounting – Proceeds donated to Relay Resources
- Steve Bell: Simple Framework for Complex Problems – Proceeds donated to Lean4NGO.org
- lisabeth Swan: Leaning into the Mission of Childcare (podcast interview with Elisabeth) – Proceeds donated to Cape Cod Children’s Place
- Tracy O’Rourke: Increasing Meals Per Hour with Kitchens for Good (podcast interview with Tracy) – Proceeds donated to Kitchens for Good
- Joy E. Mason: Using Six Sigma to Address Racial Equity (podcast interview with Joy) – Proceeds donated to The Six Sigma Racial Equity Institute
I think this is a great book to share with potential volunteers, or nonprofits or public service agencies wanting to learn more about how Lean or Six Sigma can be applied to their organizations.
