“Avoiding the Continuous Appearance Trap is practical guide to a better understanding of your organization’s operations. Reflecting on your own answers to Adams’ 12 questions will reveal breadth and depth of your current state that you had most likely never known. Like most aspects of Lean, this is a simple concept that leads to transformative results.”
~Steven Kane, Director of Coaching and Certification at Gemba Academy LLC

“Patrick Adams contrasts the cultures of two companies he worked for and though each started with similar lean models and visions one was mechanistic and only gave the appearance of lean, while the other developed an actual culture of continuous improvement. The contrast provides a vivid example of the difference between fake lean and true lean.”
Dr. Jeffrey Liker, Author of The Toyota Way
