Diary of a Kaizen Warrior

Reflections on Lean, Kaizen, productivity and improvement from more than 30 years in the field.

Welcome to Lean Tomatoes

Welcome to my Blog!

I’d like to share a bit more and my greatest passions, the first being my interests in all things Lean Thinking and the relentless pursuit of knowledge to share with others.

The second being my love for gardening and in particular growing tomatoes.

To cut a long story short, I started this after an unfortunate event when another site I had built up content with was decimated and I wanted my own place to hold all my random efforts. the monster was born!

I hope this blog is both informative and entertaining and serves as an inspiration to you to get involved with Lean, or gardening!

About me

Hi, I’m Richard Steel — an experienced practitioner in productivity, process improvement and continuous improvement.

I was fortunate to complete my initial Lean experiences from 1994 – 1997 with Professor Dan Jones, Toyota, Nissan and Shin-jujitsu consulting.

Over the past 30 years I’ve worked across a wide range of organisations, helping improve performance, develop capability and embed practical improvements that last.
