Lean is about People

“When you go out into the workplace, you should be looking for things that

you can do for your people there. …

You’ve got to be looking for changes you can make for the benefit of the

people who are working there.”

- Taiichi Ohno

@MichaelSahota

Losing Sight of People = Failure

“The typical approach used to initiate Agile is

inconsistent with Agile goal of engagement.”

- Michael Sahota

stiffs or top executives, feel good about life.”

Can we measure this?

TIP: Use 12 Scientifically Proven Questions to Measure Engagement

Q: At work, do my opinions seem to count?

Q: Does my supervisor, or someone at work, seem to

care about me as a person?

How may we experience disengagement?

“We thought we were hiring Michael to teach our staff how to 'do agile' but he taught us so much more than that.

We started with an intense but stunningly effective Temenos session for the management team that was crucial to building the trust and connection we

needed to truly function as a team.

He facilitated a series of organizational development workshops that helped us understand and build towards a cultural and organizational context where

agility can thrive and be sustained.

Using a dynamic and highly engaging 'teach by modeling' style throughout, Michael helped us examine our team's values, mission and ambitions, adjust

our structure and move us towards an empowered model of decision-making.

When we finally rolled out Scrum and Kanban training, we were well positioned to support successful adoption.

Michael is a master facilitator who applied expertise, experience, compassion and courage to navigate complex problems with us and put us on the

path to transformation.”
