Points Captured from Class Discussion Islands of Success ? How do IOS get started and form? – From pressure such as to save money – Long term vision for the company – New project opportunity – Isolated groups idea – Culture accepting of change – Competition pressure ? What barriers inhibit IOS growth or spread? – Infrastructure already in place – Low-hanging fruit or don’t see whole value stream – It is hard to change people mindset – Lack of vision or leadership – Requires investment, high risk, untested –NIH – Not transferable – Value added may be different between fields in different areas – Geographic barriers Aspects of “Culture” ?

If Yes: What are they? What is preventing them from growing into “Mainlands of Success”? ? If No: What are some opportunities for starting some IOS? How could they be started? Points Captured from Class Discussion MIT IOS ? AA curriculum ? MIT curriculum – Students come from varied – Muddy cards: quick backgrounds and MIT is feedback addressing this with – PRS: even faster feedback ? Interphase – Prof. Darmofal, ? Concourse ? 16.100 homework before ?ESP class, oral exams ? Barriers ? 16.901, homework daily ? Barriers –Cost – Interest of students to try – Cultural between depts the alternate path – Teachers have different – Getting the information values – Get the Dean on board ? Course III is attempting unifying approach Points Captured from Class Discussion MIT IOS Continued ? Student life and living ? Adm support systems – ARC and counseling – Counseling support support services services. ? Prof Vanevera: – Dorm structure IOS on fragmented approach or mindset. Lack of holistic student level approach ? Helping new students – Computer support system ? Floor help in AA – Barrier: Top down ? Lack of integrated approach thinking ? Meal Plan not the value –Seamans’ lab ? Is the library being used that students want ? Continuous flow, seamless of structure AvWeek Discussion ? In addition to your prompting questions for each article, consider: Are the principles of Lean Thinking relevant to this article, and why or why not?
