This two-day intensive (and intense) class applies Lean principles and tools to better manage personal and project work to circumvent chaos, communications issues, and low morale.
Creator of Personal Kanban Jim Benson, along with Tonianne DeMaria Barry, his co-author for the Shingo Award-winning book "Personal Kanban: Mapping Work | Navigating Life," will introduce this Lean tool to understand, plan, and act on the options we have available at work. In this class, we will discuss how knowledge workers primarily work using their brains and, therefore, any personal or team optimizations need to focus on the actual people doing the work.
