Thrilling info!
I’m celebrating 15 years of working a weblog this month. I launched, A Lean Journey in
2009 as a resourceful outlet to share lessons and experiences regarding Lean
pondering, enchancment practices, and administration.
On the time, I
knew nothing about working a weblog, the implications of choosing a catchy establish, or how
to develop a following. I opened an account on Blogger.com, uploaded the {photograph}
above to my profile net web page, and commenced to weblog. I shared my perspective of Lean
and chronicled my very personal “Lean Journey throughout the Quest for True North.” Slowly,
I even realized the basics of HTML, which was vital on the time.
Listed under are hyperlinks
to the first few posts, one to introduce the weblog, the next one on DOWNTIME and the Eight Wastes, and the first Roundup.
Yearly I
take the prospect to reflect. The act of “self-reflection” is
often called Hansei is Japanese. It is the observe of regular enchancment that
consists of making an attempt once more and desirous about how a course of is perhaps improved.
First quite a lot of
numbers
Since May 23,
2009 I’ve shared practically 2530 posts. The popular ones are about administration,
biggest practices, empowerment and engagement. I shared larger than 3500 recommendations on my Fb web site. Written/contributed to 1 e-book and over
12 articles. I’ve moreover had the pleasure of presenting at 6 conferences, doing 2
radio reveals, and web internet hosting larger than a dozen webinars.
After 15 years
I might want to suppose this straightforward weblog has been profitable. It has been a valued
contribution throughout the Lean Group with over 2.1 million company. Many articles are sometimes shared and many
key phrase searches end in A Lean Journey Weblog. Decrease than 10% of the blogs I
study 15 years previously (which obtained me started) are nonetheless publishing articles proper this second. I
get good solutions from numerous you which ones motivates me to proceed.
What have I
realized?
Operating a weblog helped
be taught further and make good connections. This home allowed me to find/particular
my very personal learning, experiment with biggest practices, and share this with all of
you. This has been a tremendous learning course of every from the good followers and
completely different colleagues on-line that I alternate with along with the tactic of
distilling my very personal learning with you. I’ve been fortunate to meet so many good
people from specialists to layman (like myself) alongside one of the simplest ways who’ve taught me so
lots. These connections have led to good options to put in writing down articles and books,
present at conferences, and even numerous occupation roles.
I nonetheless can not
even contemplate it’s been FIFTEEN YEARS! That is crazy. I had no idea then what I
was moving into or that I might nonetheless be doing this 15 years later. Frankly, I wasn’t constructive anyone would study what
I wrote certainly not ideas uncover price in it. It actually has been an beautiful experience
and full of options.
Thanks the entire
company and contributors to A Lean Journey Weblog who make this such a worthwhile
journey.
