The first week of December 2005 was a great collaboration of practitioners and lean thinking advisors. We've certainly added to the recorded wisdom of project kaizen. And we have a long way to go. For my part, I'll continue to write about the best practices, project experiences, and lessons, especially those learning moments.

Identify an annoyance in your own work and eliminate it. And then do it again!

Lean thinking is transforming one industry after another. That is a really good thing. It's time to bring lean thinking to the project space. In my opinion there's no better place to start than by introducing project kaizen. So, I'm doing my part by launching the project kaizen website. You'll find it at www.projectkaizen.com.

To start, I've collected the postings of the Gang-of-Seven along with others who posted along with us. I'll also post on the site as I find additional content to help you with your project kaizen initiatives. In 2006 I'll put it all together in a handbook for succeeding with project kaizen.

But don't wait 'til then. Start your project kaizen efforts today. There's no better way than to adopt the kaizen way in your own work. Identify an annoyance in your own work and eliminate it. And then do it again!

I've also created a Project kaizen Yahoo! Group to support you as you experiment with project kaizen. Join the group. Please let us all know what you are learning.
