Beyond Lean Joins Twitter

For the last couple of years I have fought social media.  That is the total “Old School” in me.  As a lean practitioner I always talk about creating a learning environment with the people I work with.  So to practice what I preach last May I started this blog.  To my surprise I have really enjoyed it.  It has been a real learning experience.

My next learning experience will be with Twitter.  It is quite new to me and to be honest, I’m a little intimidated by it.  All the symbols and retweets and follows and what not.  So, look me up when on Twitter and be patient with me.

Next Week is Manufacturing in America Week

Tomorrow starts Manufacturing in America Week.  This week is dedicated to raising awareness about the importance of manufacturing in America.

To support this grassroots effort, I will be blogging about manufacturing topics next week.  One post will be about a small, family-owned company that has had great success with lean over the last five years.

I am looking forward to it and I hope everyone helps to spread the word through Facebook and Twitter all week long.
