Quality Book Surprise

“gemba walk” (lean thinking term) to go to the actual place where value is added + “walkabout” (Australian aborigine) a short period of wandering bush life engaged as an occasional interruption of regular work

While visiting a pretty prestigious organization regarding interviews for a position, I was pleasantly surprised to see a copy of the Quality Book for which I was a contributing author (chapter 4).  It turns out that 2 people from the organization were also contributing authors for one of the chapters.  I’m going to have to go back and re-read that book (and get an updated copy of the latest edition).
