I am seeing a lot of post on #leansixsigma, that quite often are only focused on tools and methods, but very few are focusing of Why we are using the powerful Lean 6 Sigma toolkit today…
Given the #vuca economic context driven by digital innovation and risk management.
We are moving towards an economy of flows between more? #responsible agents, where the financial results are as important as the externalities it generates such as #carbonfootprint, #climatechange , #healthandwellness or #educationalequity indicators, that complement the usual old GDP…
Problem Solving is like economics. There is microeconomics and macroeconomics. Solve, contain the small problems of everyday life, is the microeconomics. Innovating and solving the world's biggest problems is the macroeconomic challenge !
Thus, when my school ESSEC Business School contacted me about 10 years ago for a lecture on Lean 6 Sigma, I had just attended a nice TEDx conference in Biarritz, to start my lecture I always used this technique to open the dialogue with the student so I used this video to open the dialog on Lean 6 Sigma
The speaker is a famous biologist, Phd from #massachusettsinstituteoftechnology , a visionary humanist and a fabulous system thinker Joel de Rosnay ! and my surfer mate.
Aloha !
Watch and enjoy this inspiring video, from Youtube so you can select your subtitle ! Long live to the #Empathicflow ! :)
Any comments or others thoughts on Lean 6 Sigma toolkit?

1 年Thanks for this very comprehensive post, Olivier. I have only a few comments or additions. In 1991, GE Aerospace began experimenting with Lean and hired the consulting firm Shingijutsu, made up for former disciples of Taichi Ohno. The GE Corporate Audit Staff, then headed by Dave Calhoun (now CEO of Boeing), was involved in this effort. Shingijutsu has been working at GE pretty much continuously since then. GE Healthcare also had a well-established Lean program. In about 2014, GE began working with Eric Ries, who had authored the book "The Lean Startup" and developed the GE version of this idea called FastWorks.? Gary Reiner (formerly a Partner at BCG) also made a number of important contributions as GE's CIO and head of Lean Six Sigma. His philosophy was "Lean, then digitize". All the best.
