We know that storyboarding has its roots in animation. But how might we leverage the process for business? How can storyboarding support us in creating different types of action plans? And can we apply the practice to the development of an RFP? Natalie Sayer is an NSA Professional Speaker and Certified Global Executive Coach who catalyzes organizations to improve results through the power of people, processes and culture. With more than 15 years of experience in management consulting, she is highly skilled in the realm of leadership and team development, facilitation, business planning and operational improvement. Natalie has been storyboarding since 1988, and she is also the coauthor of Lean for Dummies. Today, Natalie joins us to share her expertise in storyboarding, explaining how she was introduced to the process as an engineer at GM.

What is StoryBoarding? – with Natalie Sayer - EP055

Episode #145 is a conversation with Natalie J. Sayer, co-author of the recently updated 2nd edition of the book Lean For Dummies. I was able to meet Natalie at the recent ASQ Lean and Six Sigma Conference, where she was also a presenter. While I was a bit resistant at first to the “for Dummies” being associated with Lean (given that “dummy” is a sort of disrespectful word), I came around when I read the first edition and found it to be a fun, solid overview of Lean concepts and a great first read for people who are new to Lean. In the podcast, Natalie shares what's new in the second edition and shares some of her history and experience with Lean, including some time learning at the famed NUMMI plant while working for GM.  For a link to this episode, refer people to  www.leanblog.org/145.
