The Lean Enterprise Institute celebrates that The Shingo Institute<\/a>, a program of the Jon M. Huntsman School of Business<\/a> at Utah State University<\/a>, has awarded John Toussaint, MD, and Kim Barnas the Shingo Publication Award for their book, Becoming the Change: Leadership Behavior Strategies for Continuous Improvement in Healthcare.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Toussaint, a pioneer in adopting lean thinking and practice in the healthcare industry, served twelve years as an LEI Board Member until mid-2001. LEI copublished the book in collaboration with McGraw Hill and Catalysis Inc., a nonprofit dedicated to positively transforming the healthcare industry through organizational excellence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Receipt of the award \u201csignifies an author\u2019s significant contribution and practical application to the body of knowledge regarding organizational excellence,\u201d says Ken Snyder, executive director of the Shingo Institute.<\/p>\n\n\n

Becoming the Change<\/em> is a powerful new approach to healthcare leadership. Drawing on a wealth of behavioral research, industry case studies, and personal insights from healthcare professionals, the two renowned healthcare transformation experts provide a practical blueprint for implementing the principles and behaviors leaders at all levels must embrace to create more value within the healthcare industry. The book highlights executives in health systems around the world as they practice behavior-based solutions to organizational problems, support continuous improvement, reflect and assess themselves as leaders, and achieve better results for patients.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

John Toussaint and Kim Barnas demonstrate that \u201cthe key element in any sustainable transformation is new beliefs and management practices by leaders,\u201d said James P. Womack, PhD, founder and senior advisor at Lean Enterprise Institute. \u201cThey offer a plan for every healthcare leader to truly become the change in the quality and productivity of their organization\u2014along with enhanced patient and employee experience\u2014by first changing their own behavior. It isn\u2019t easy and it requires perseverance, but it is possible, and Becoming the Change<\/em> shows how.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Commenting on the award-recipient book, John Shook, chairman of Lean Global Network<\/a>, said, \u201cPersonal transformation without organizational transformation is difficult. It isn\u2019t easy to be an island of lean thinking surrounded by a turbulent sea of conclusion-jumping followed by analysis paralysis. ‘Becoming the change’ means exactly that: the transformation we so desperately need today will occur only when those of us who lead embrace the transformation personally.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The authors will receive their award at the Awards Gala during the Shingo Conference in Provo, Utah, USA, on May 23, 2023. The conference features benchmarking tours, workshops, keynote speakers, and interactive break-out sessions designed to provide ongoing knowledge, insights, and experience for organizations pursuing operational excellence. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
