QnEK, It’s a Community

July 31st, 2007 by Hal

Thanks go out to Joe Ely for spreading the word on the Quick-n-Easy-kaizen community. A few people have been sharing their QnEKs. The experience so far has been good. And we're working like crazy to make the experience better. Thanks Kim! There's no guide to using the site. My aim is that it will be quick-n-easy. We'll see.

Please stop by to see what we're doing. Share your latest small improvement; leave a comment on QnEKs others have share; and leave us a comment on your experience. And by all means, visit again in a few days. I've got big plans for the month of August. You won't want to miss out!

There’s another community that I think has caught on to the spirit of kaizen - overwhelmed housewives. Check out their site: http://www.flylady.com/
