Patty Beidleman has used Personal Kanban in almost every instance that she could think of since first coming across it in August of '09.  From using it with her 11 year old daughter, at the nonprofit she founded and to using it in a preschool classroom. Patty even has developed her own kit for making a Kanban. Even the most seasoned Lean expert will learn something from this podcast, guaranteed! Patty is the founder of Layers of Love. Chemotherapy patients suffer a terrible side effect of treatment.  Being susceptible to cold. they are trying to make a difference for these patients going through chemotherapy by donating homemade fleece tied blankets to the Lehigh Valley Health Network, which includes the Cedar Crest and Muhlenberg Cancer Center locations. Personal Kanban authors Jim Benson & Tonianne DeMaria Barry also helped Patty as she tried Personal Kanban in all the different aspects of her life and how she tied them all together. She has a Personal Kanban Flicker Page that I encourage you to view as you listen to the podcast. If you are so moved to make a blanket donation there are a few guidelines that they have found useful. Please review their site for address and the information that you will need. There is also a special link to Jo-Ann Fabric and Craft Store and all you have to do is send them the fleece and they will make the blankets. Take one of those 50% off Jo-Ann  Fabric coupons in Sunday’s paper and use it for a good cause. Personal Kanban is neither a prescription nor a plan. The book provides a light, actionable, achievable framework for understanding our work and its context. This book describes why students, parents, business leaders, major corporations, and world governments all see immediate results with Personal Kanban.

Sample the first 2 minutes of this podcast. This is a tool-less conversation about social media. We actually started out the podcast with me commenting on the title and telling Francois that when I first picked it up, I thought, yes another book on social media which led to this comment: Francois: I think a lot of people are like that. I wish we wouldn't have had the subtitle that says it's a competition by leveraging social media, because that's what people think: "Ugh, there's another social media book," and it's so not a social media book, it's really a business book. In The Hyper-Social Organization: Eclipse Your Competition by Leveraging Social Media , Francois Goissieaux of Human 1.0 and Ed Moran of Deloitte identify how (and which) social media are fundamentally changing core business processes and the way businesses and customers interact. These changes are being driven by what the authors call the “Hyper-Social Shift.” Related Posts: A Lean Experts Guide to Blogging and Twitter PDCA for Lean Marketing, Knowledge Creation Quality and Collaboration eBook Online collaboration is leading the way for Lean Marketing The Marketing Knowledge Spiral

Jim ("Cope") Coplien was my guest on the Business901 podcast. We discussed his new book,Lean Architecture: for Agile Software Development but I found Cope’s view on Lean and Agile quite interesting. His knowledge of the subject goes far beyond the software practices that he writes about. Whether you are in IT or not, I think this podcast really helps in understanding Lean as a methodology. Cope is a speaker and author whose works range from programming and architecture to ethnography and organizational design. He is a founder of the Software Pattern discipline and of organizational patterns, which in turn were one of the foundations of Scrum. Though he writes for a technical audience, his works focus on the human element of product development. His latest work, "Lean Architecture" is as much about how architecture helps make software usable, as it is about software maintainability on the technical side.

Steve Denning’s new book, The Leader's Guide to Radical Management: Reinventing the Workplace for the 21st Century (Jossey-Bass, 2010) was the topic of our discussion. Radical management is a fundamentally different approach to management, with seven inter-locking principles of continuous innovation: focusing the entire organization on delighting clients; working in self-organizing teams; operating in client-driven iterations; delivering value to clients with each iteration; fostering radical transparency; nurturing continuous self-improvement and communicating interactively. In sum, the principles comprise a new mental model of management. Steve is also the author of the award-winning books, The Secret Language of Leadership: How Leaders Inspire Action Through Narrative (J-B US non-Franchise Leadership) and The Leader's Guide to Storytelling: Mastering the Art and Discipline of Business Narrative. Steve works with organizations in the U.S., Europe, Asia and Australia on leadership, innovation, business narrative and reinventing management. From 1996 to 2000, Steve was the Program Director, Knowledge Management at the World Bank.
