My 'Best Practice Work System' downloads are designed to give you ways to change your work systems and produce better results. I hope that you take the time to explore the variety of tools and ideas I share on this site. Keep improving!

This download gives you a sample chapter from my 'How to Develop a High-Performance Work Culture' book. I first wrote this book in 2006. Unfortunately, too many organizations have yet to even install the basic work systems I share in this book.

My 168-page, full color 'How to Change Work Culture' workbook and its exercises helps you and your team learn you learn how work systems shape work cultures. Their use helps blend team and organizational work cultures into one consistent, culture where kaizen is a daily work habit. Plus, I have 'personal use' experience with all of the tools I share from my past workplaces that I am happy to share.

With my current update of this now-vintage, but still very value added, workbook comes the creation of obsolete inventory. As I said, all of the practices still apply. Many have been automated and/or digitized in progressive, larger workplaces. However, in small business land where I live and work, the simple work systems I share in this NOW *FREE* workbook can have a huge and lasting impact.

Additional downloads are a part of the different courses I offer at my Kaizen Learning Universe. In the near future, download options will include PDF, mp3, and mp4 content that supports each of the six different 'Teach Your Teams' (TYT) continuous improvement workbooks. You can learn more about the workbooks and process on that resource page.
