Animating the Lean Management System
|
MoreSteam CEO Bill Hathaway challenges the traditional “House of Lean” model, where Lean principles, practices, and systems are presented as building blocks of a static structure, and asks whether that representation truly reflects the realities organizations face today.
Drawing on decades of experience in operational excellence, Bill explores why lean systems must be able to grow, adapt, learn, and evolve over time, rather than remain fixed in place.
Bill invites readers to rethink how lean management systems are represented in a world of constant change, offering a new perspective on how we visualize and understand what it takes to achieve and sustainable operational excellence.

In this session, we'll break down real examples of regression analysis gone wrong, including overfit models, misleading p-values, suspiciously perfect R² values, spurious correlations, and other statistical misbehavior, and show you how to confidently separate meaningful insights from accidental mischief.

Using Lean Management To Drive Strategic Alignment with Peg Pennington
|
On this episode of Quality Time with MoreSteam, host Dan Swartwout shares highlights from one of MoreSteam's most anticipated webinars of the year featuring Peg Pennington, President of MoreSteam. Peg tackles a challenge many organizations face: strategy seems clear at the executive level, but daily work doesn't align with it. She explains how to treat Lean management as a real system by connecting four critical systems: strategy, problem-solving, daily management, and people. Between clips from Peg's webinar, Dan provides context and key takeaways to show what it takes to keep strategy, operations, and people moving in the same direction.

Making Continuous Improvement Measurable
|
This Quality Digest article explores why continuous improvement often struggles to take hold in day-to-day work and how a CI maturity assessment can provide clarity. Based on aggregated results from 62 teams across industries, it highlights insights from the CI Pulse model, which helps leaders assess CI maturity, identify strengths and gaps, and determine where to focus to make CI part of everyday operations rather than an occasional activity.
If these gaps resonate, learn how MoreSteam can partner with you to strengthen capability and problem-solving skills through the right tools, training, and technology.
