We are delighted to welcome Steven Spear as the LERC Conference 2009 keynote. A four times Shingo Prize publication winner in the USA for his contributions to lean thinking, he has been a keynote speaker at AME (Association for Manufacturing Excellence) three times – in Boston, Chicago, and Toronto. AME is the premier lean association in the world and Steven has been the highest rated speaker at AME on each occasion.
He is a former assistant professor at Harvard Business School, author of three Harvard Business Review articles including the highly acclaimed ‘Understanding the DNA of the Toyota Production System’ (consistently on the Harvard Business Review topseller list of reprints) and author of ‘Chasing the Rabbit’, published in 2009.
Now at MIT, working in healthcare and researching process improvement, he has been the business world's ‘hot property’ of early 2009, following publication of ‘Chasing the Rabbit’. He has been interviewed by Business Week, Bloomberg and on the Lean Blog.org podcast.
To quote Professor Clayton Christensen of Harvard, ‘I count having been one of Steve Spear’s colleagues and advisors to be one of my foremost credentials. ... in his field he has no peers.’ To read more about Steven, the LERC Conference 2009 and watch his interviews on Bloomberg and Business Week, please click here
