Mindfulness and Leading with Respect with Mike Orzen and John Shook

Joining me for podcast #191 is my friend and fellow LEI faculty member Mike Orzen (@MikeOrzen), co-author of the Shingo Award-winning book Lean IT: Enabling and Sustaining Your Lean Transformation. I recently crossed paths with Mike in Columbus, Ohio, because we're both mentoring students in the Ohio State University MBOE program. We have a lot in common, it seems! Mike is also collaborating with the ThedaCare Center for Healthcare Value for a new workshop: “Leveraging Information, People &amp; Systems in Healthcare,” to be held in Phoenix on January 28 and 29. In this episode, we talk about topics including an overview of “Lean IT,” how Lean is different compared to manufacturing and other service settings, how healthcare organizations can benefit from Lean IT, and the potential for kaizen and continuous improvement in IT.  For a link to this episode, refer people to  www.leanblog.org/191. Mike and I wrote an article in 2011 on using Lean to meet the IHI “Triple Aim” goals in healthcare (PDF link).
