Pacific Northwest National Laboratory's Lean journey. A description of what we have learned and done over the last few years. We are just getting started, but already seeing good results from Lean and our efforts to become a learning organization. From Kaizen, to Kata, to Coaching, our focus on people has remained constant. In order to be our best we need our best out of our staff.
Presented at the National Laboratory Information Technology conference, Santa Fe NM
Lean is having an increasingly pervasive presence in the software world these days. Lean Software Development has its seven principles and seven wastes and promises to improve efficiency and quality. Many of the most innovative software development companies profess to have their philosophical home in Lean Startup's 'Build-Measure-Learn' approach, rather than Agile. But is Lean the same as Agile? And what about the proponents of Lean UX who are challenging the emerging orthodoxy of Agile SDLC frameworks with slogans like "Agile doesn't have a brain"?
In this session, we will explore the basic ideas of Lean thinking, similarities and differences between different flavors of Lean, how Lean can be applied to software development, and finally how Lean concepts can be used to expand the built-in 'inspect and adapt' cycles of Scrum to include learning about customer value.
Visual Management is a lean communication tool to help keep focus on priority initiatives in the workplace as well as keeping your thumb on the pulse of daily operations. I will take you through the evolution of one areas visibility management system and how this has now spread through all divisions of our Pathology and Laboratory Medicine Department to become standard work. You will take away ideas and inspiration to incorporate this communication system in your workplace. Success comes from ensuring the loop of communication goes full circle from leadership to front line and back to leadership for full understanding.
This is a little presentation we used for our hourly employees when we rolled out lean. Not attached are the real life examples we discussed as part of the training.

Over the 16 years that we've been providing support to organizations at nearly every stage of the Lean journey, leadership has consistently emerged as the single most important determinant of success. Those organizations with deep leadership engagement soar, while those who don't fail to experience significant transformation.
In this first of three webinars, Karen shares the perspective and content that she and her team use when working with executives and senior leadership teams within the firm's clients.
She review the system of Lean principles, management practices, and tools, and then focuses on 6 of the topics leaders most commonly misunderstand or are unaware of:
1. Three of the core values that underlie Lean management
2. Key performance indicators
3. Visual management
4. Work standardization
5. Go and see (Gemba) management
6. The one environmental "don't" that destroys all Lean effort

Agile Gurugram 2019 Conference | Design Thinking: an approach for transformationAgileNetwork
Session Title : Design Thinking: an approach for transformation
Session Overview : In this talk, we discuss how Design Thinking (DT) approach helps create a journey for Lean-Agile transformation.
A common challenge that organisations face is where and how to start the transformation process. Sometimes, organisations are midway in the process but one needs to reinvigorate the transformation journey. Design thinking helps define a structured approach of how one can one go about this process. It helps us understand how to assess the current state and emerge viable alternatives for taking the transformation process to the next step.
We understand the DT process and how it maps to the needs about transformation process. We understand how the output of the DT process can be mapped to the Lean-Agile transformation objective.

June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...Levi Shapiro
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202

Embracing GenAI - A Strategic ImperativePeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.
