The Lean Learning Organization Welcome to the August edition of our monthly newsletter, Learning to Lean. In this month's edition, we focus on creating a learning organization, one of the keys to continued lean manufacturing success.

The Learning Organization Creating a "learning organization" has challenged companies since Peter Senge coined the term "learning organization" more than a decade ago. What does it mean to be a lean learning organization? This month we feature three articles that should help you understand more about becoming a lean learning organization. Firstly, we give you a discussion on the key elements of a lean learning organization. Our second article talks about the elements of Toyota's learning organization. In our final article, we talk about proper lean training, a key to successfully creating a continuous improvement culture. The materials referenced in this newsletter will teach you more about the importance of creating a learning organization. If the articles, links, and books to the left have piqued your interest and you would like to learn more, feel free to call us at 866-559-5598 or visit our website and click on "Contact Us." Best Regards, Darren Dolcemascolo
