I've blogged about this: Big in Japan
It has been really a great presentation. -
A couple of months ago, some lead engineer died from overwork at Toyota. The Japanese language even has the term Karōshi for that. So, besides all the nice lean concepts, it appears that one person carries much of the responsibility to make a new car model successful. Team effort may be one success factor, but still there seems to be a dependency on a few key players as well.

I watched this presentation with awe. It is superbly structured, wonderfully delivered and could not have been better. Thanks to both of you, I refreshed my core concepts of Lean in just an hour. Keep it up.
