What sessions are you thinking of for Lean Camp.
In two weeks, we'll have finished Lean Camp. What do you think we talked about? For Me: - Happy People Work Better - Communicating Your Value to Others ("They don't get it" is a cop out.) - Using Kanban to Visualize Personal and Team Work - Real Metrics Often Don't Use Numbers - Making Meetings Productive, Effective and Enjoyable and - Best Thing I Ever Ate Please Add To This Thread!

Thanks for the note on publishing.
Production/printing is only one aspect of the entire publishing process.
I believe the greater and more interesting application at this point is looking how books are created and launched. This ties more closely to the Blank/Ries Lean Startup Movement thinking.
I believe a sense of entrepreneurship needs to be brought back to publishing and more people should be looking for alternate business models.
LeanPub up in Vancouver is coming down and they have some interesting thoughts on this too.

Todd, saw your interest in book publishing. Check out snowfall press. We use them and they've totally implemented a lean book publishing business. Turnaround, quality and price are amazing (not a sales pitch - we're a customer). :)

When Jim Benson and Jeremy Lightsmith sat down to pl... [read more]
