Having read recently about this topic, I summarized most of the method in a mindmap which is available on biggerplate.
Please note that a lot more is available (and detailed!) on CSH Author Werner Ulrich home page! Please go and see.
Next time you’re on the gemba and you seem not to talk the same language as your peers, it may be useful to critically explore your assumptions and boundaries!
I said everything in the subject. You can get the map here: http://www.biggerplate.com/mindmaps/xMqBglAG/greg-egan-the-skilled-helper
This one lacked in my binder. This is corrected thanks to Wikipedia. Please enjoy the map here.
I just uploaded a mindmap I had in stock about these 10 principles. Very useful to any kind of organization, including for-profit (but you must not run when you hear forgiveness, generosity and love in that kind of context!).
The map’s available here and the source material was this article.
I just uploaded a mindmap on BiggerPlate summarizing Clean Language.
Enjoy!
(It might help with coaching…)
I just uploaded a new small mindmap about these two themes. I plan to write about how that seems to fit well with Lean coaching and Lean management, soon.
I’ve just finished a wonderful ebook on “Motivational Interviewing in Probation” (see my links on my delicious account) and it appeared to me that this skill may very well be suited for Lean Coaches when they don’t have the opportunity to coach top management but are asked to “do Lean” in the company.
Most of the time, managers are asked to “do Lean” and this very request triggers their change resistance upon arrival of the loca Lean expert (coach). As each managers may be on a different stage of the change model (see my previous article on Stages of Change Model), the coach should be addressing each of them differently. This mindmap explains how.
Use your new MI skills to achieve that and tell me how it works. Warning: it may look easy, but it’s some hard and live intellectual work. But who said Lean was easy anyway? 
See the uploaded MI on Probation mindmap on Biggerplate here.
Ok I think the title’s saying it all.
The first map is a summary of the 5D process.
For a more detailed explanation of what AI is, you might then have a look at the mindmap I did of the excellent book “The Power of Appreciative Inquiry” by Diana Whitney and Amanda Trosten-Bloom (not replacing the book of course!)
I have often talked on this blog about the law of requisite variety.
Stafford Beer indeed created a model of viable organizations which is supported by a set of principles and laws that I summarized in the just uploaded mindmap.
If you want to know more on that topic, have a look at my delicious bookmarks on VSM.
This is an (old) initial version. I need to update it with information about how the VSM model is organized:
Stay tuned!
Ok, I had those on my hard disk, only decided to prettify them and share them.
Chris Argyris has a very interesting explanation of why people don’t change and don’t challenge organizational status quo. you can read more on him on Infed.org (great site by the way, check it out!).
You can also access the just uploaded mindmap: http://www.biggerplate.com/mindmaps/6Pomcg7J/chris-argyris-theory-of-action.
Enjoy!
