12 years later and some say Paul's desk fits on the head of a pin.

I’ve only been introduced to the world of lean very recently and this video is absolutely incredible that desk and briefcase are awesome!

Incredible efficient solution. Fantastic! I WILL BE IMPLEMENTING THE lean BRIEFCASE IMMEDIATELY!

Thank you! Amazing. I am 54 - massive companies have sent me to Japan. They have been trying it my entire career. I did so much of this innately but couldn’t apply all the Corp consultants successfully. My 18 year old daughter sent me your KZread and said she was excited. I figured I would watch so I could engage and encourage her. But… You got it right. It is an empowering culture change not a system or process. Keep it simple! I am energised and setting off to change the business. 2 seconds at a time!

Truly a lean transformation Paul. This was lovely!

Thank you Paul. I will share this to my supervisor, I hope he will consider us getting one.

I saw you speak last week in Idaho. It really made me think. I pulled my staff together today for our first lean meeting. I showed this video and the morning meeting. Thanks so much!

Thanks Raphael. You made my day! Paul

The video was made 13 years ago and is still very relevant today. Love it. Thanks for sharing :-)

Wow, you really got me thinking. For a video from 2 years ago this is still great.

Great idea on the mobile desk/briefcase. Just what I needed to simplify my workspace requirements.

Tom, Well I'd love to see the before/after. Send me a quick video or pics! Paul

I might have to get the bag. We opened up a flooring store and I am back and forth with my laptop and files. This would be so much easier.

Great ideas I always enjoy your videos. Chris Turner - Lean Mfg Coach

Awesome!

This is REALLY cool!

Fast forward, I hope today you just use your smartphone to run your WHOLE company!

AMAZING !!!

Must see more on that lean briefcase idea! A Pull not Push request! :) wow!

That briefcase... Wow, I need to implement lean in my life!

Do true, Marek.

Ok, really small world! I just noticed you followed me, so I check out your page and this video. Then wanted to learn about you and checked out Fastcap. Long before my social media agency came to be, our family business was cabinet making and I've probably used thousands of Fastcaps in my lifetime. Very small world, neat to "bump into you" over KZread like this. Take care!

Taren, I really appreciate your content. Being a KZread creator myself, I recognize the value of what you do. It helps other people. That's why I couldn't help but comment. It's been very helpful to me. So happy you know about FastCap and you like our products. If you need anything, let me know and I'm happy to send you anything you like at no charge! Paul

You can even make the sistem retractable so you wouldn't be carrying around a whole desk on wheels, tough for tight spaces. I bet you can make it out of aluminum and make it retactable, as thin as a couple inches.

Hi Chris, thanks for your encouraging words, in about 3 week i will finish my book "2 second Lean" how to build an extreme lean culture. stay in touch and i will send you a copy.

Hey Paul, is the power cord on the rolling desk something you sell? Only place I can find was Lowes but it is setup backwards, or did you just cut and switch the ends of the wiring?

Did you run for the US Senate? You would be awesome, but they would drive you crazy! Thanks for pushing all of us to be better in our businesses. I run a service based business and just realized that if I start these processes the saving will soon add up to being like I have hired an new employee just with the savings! I just found you a couple of days ago and am overdosing on this stuff. You have blown my whole world of thinking apart. I've got to slow down and implement a culture for it to last. Thank you!

Mr.Akers, You can improve the standing desk to not harm the workers knee & hip joints. A recent study at the University of Michigan demonstrated those joints can be protected long term by a simple measure. Follow the pattern of sitting for a minute or two after standing for 15 minutes. Reverse that if you sit all day. No drugs were required in many cases. The study results were dramatic. 70% of those with osteoarthritis arthritis stopped further progress of the disease. 25% actually grew back some lost joint cartilage. It'will protect your workers in the factory as well. It implies the potential for a reduction in worker comp claims and injury lawsuits. You might include suggesting the workers think for a moment about how to be more efficient or just to clear their mind.

Thanks for the information. Our employees can sit anytime they want. We are really protecting ourselves...we will live five years longer statistically than everybody else who is sitting all day.

Why is the conference table sit down? I thought you said earlier that stand up conference tables cut meeting time down. Which way is it lean or not lean?

Very Observant. It's not a conference table. Those are the conference chairs that were transferred to the lunch area for our people when they take a break. Paul

you are very welcome, anything i can do to help you on your lean journey, just let me know. my e mail is paul@fastcap.com

Hi Paul, are you selling those Lean desk of yours? For me it would be a great idea to sell them. And it would be nice if the height is adjustable for a better ergonomic design so its easy to adjust regardless of who would want to use it.
