Back to EpisodesLean v Elon Musk, Smugglers and "The Idiot Index"
Description
Elon Musk and Drug Smugglers. Can we learn from those we may not like? Are our biases meaning that we are missing a good opportunity to learn?
The new series of The Rest is Lean Podcast gets underway, full of interesting discussion and plenty of laughs
Following on from Alan's venting, the Team discuss how lean learning can come from those who are not necessarily the most well-liked of people
- Does Elon Musk have a 'Lean' mindset?
- How do drug smugglers use lean concepts for their ill-gotten gains?
- What is the 'Idiot Index'?
This leads onto the guys sharing some of their memories with their Japanese Mentors from Toyota and Honda and how the learning they received was delivered, would work with today's generation
Our channel aims to explore the world of leadership, lean manufacturing, operational excellence and continuous improvement, by sharing our decades of experience in this field. Trained by Japanese Master Engineers from Toyota (2nd Generation Ohno trained) and Honda, we want to share our knowledge, experience and failures so you don't have to!
