lean marketing with a3 thinking
DESCRIPTION
This slide deck was used in a presentation that is available in the Training section at Business901.com. Using a structured approach, such as the Lean thinking tool of A3, the mind remains open, enabling one to examine each element of the decision or problem separately or systematically, and sufficiently, ensuring that all alternatives are considered. The outcome is almost always more comprehensive and more effective than the instinctive approach.TRANSCRIPT
