A new section has been added

I want to share a passion of mine, reading. Over time I will be adding more books that I recommend for other students of Lean.

First out is the classics, The Toyota Way and Lean Thinking. These are the books that really got me going and woke my thirst for more.

If you have any recommendations for me you are free to post below.




Some inspiration for the new year!

I have recently had a passage of rough times in my life and this help me focus and move on.

“Try and fail, but don’t fail to try.” – John Quincy Adams

Also, as I get on with my journey I strive to grow and learn, to take the next step on my journey. This have become my passion. As part of this I am experiencing that coaching other is an excellent way to develop my own skills.

“The one exclusive sign of thorough knowledge is the power of teaching.” – Aristotle

Happy New Year to you all!
