Performance management & Lean

So, this is one of my favourite topics.
Why is Performance management and lean such great companions?
In a way it's quite obvious. Lean is about creating a culture where the process of continous improvements is a natural behaviour.
But to be able to improve, we need to know our current state, and we need to define new targets and describe our actions to get there.
This is, to a large extent the essence of performance management and the reason why I see it so closely related to Lean manufacturing.

In the near future we will publish more on this topic and also make some of our performance management tools available on the lean shop.

Known on 3 continents..

So, the shop is being seen on 3 continents now.
Primarily due to PPC campaigns, but we are now on page 3 on google and hopefully rising further in the next couple of weeks.

We have processed our first sales of lean games on the web-shop and it seems to work fine.

The web-site is up.. a great day

Hi everyone,

I'm Jesper R. Hansen, co-manager and co-founder of a Lean consultancy company.

We are based in Denmark, but have decided to make some of our tools available on a web-site, so that everyone can have the chance to benefit from it.

Today, was a great day, after a few months of preparing the first products, we opened the shop.

Initially we provide two great Lean games, that can be used to teach and motivate any organization on the Lean principles.

One of them is pretty unique, since you can download everything you will ned to get started. The package includes a comprehensive instructor's guide, video clips and even an Excel workbook to display performance during the game.

For the game play itself you only need plain paper in 3 different colours!

We are quite excited about the whole thing and we hope that a lot of people will benefit from these games being available, they are great instruments to teach the Lean fundamentals in an inspiring way.

Today will however not be the day of the first sale, because we already shipped one last week to a customer that just couldn't wait for the payment system to come on-line, but we take that as a good sign, that our products are valuable.

I will try to update the blog continously, with some tips and tricks on how to teach the Lean principles but also a few comments on the experiences in the e-commerce world.

I hope you will enjoy.
