Strength Based LEAN Six Sigma
Building positive and engaging business improvement
Jan 5, 2025
Abstract
The arrival of a new business book with a strong Solution Focused (SF) element is always an event to be marked, and David Shaked’s work will be welcomed on many fronts. Shaked is the first to set down in book form many ways to apply ‘strength based’ approaches – SF, Appreciative Inquiry (Ai) and Positive Deviance in this case – to the huge world of LEAN / Six Sigma change. The result is both a good starting point and, we might hope, an opening crack in the stone face of deficit-based work.
