"Jekiel makes a strong case for the greater part of waste coming from poor or nonexistent
HR systems; ... Her systematic mapping of the path to get out of the cave
and into the light of day gives the reader hope that transformation of the culture
is possible."
- Sherrie Ford, Chairman, Executive VP, Culture Power Partners, Inc.
Lasting change requires evolution in organizational cultural and to achieve such
change requires definitive changes in behavior. Jekiel, who has been implementing
Lean initiatives out of HR offices for 20 years, puts forth a proven five-year plan that includes the building of
improvement-linked competencies into each job.
