Kanban Weekly Roundup - Nov 29, 2011

                                                                                                                                          By Dominica DeGrandis

There’s been a flurry of activity in South America and on the kanbandev yahoo group this week and some are noted below. 
It’s been challenging to get to all the Kanban articles and discussions popping up everywhere. 
If you should come across something worthy of this forum, please call my attention to it.

Using the Mutual Learning Model to achieve Double Loop Learning
by Benjamin Mitchell (@benjaminm)  (50 min)
An entertaining video on learning.  I like the part about,  “The gap is greatest under conditions
of embarrassment or threat.”, where the gap in this case is the difference between what you say and what you do.

An older post by Karen Greaves, Kanban Evolution, resurfaced on twitter this week.  While some of the terminology
has since changed (ex: “Balance demand against throughput, has been replaced with “Balance demand against capability”),
it’s still a nice concise overview of the Kanban Method.
