Title: S2 E14 - Jim Benson - Make Work Visible, Make Work Better
Subtitle: Kanban and Lean Coffee to replace chaos with clarity
Description:
Jim Benson—co-creator of Personal Kanban, Shingo Prize winner, and co-founder of Lean Coffee—joins Mark to unpack how visual management and WIP limits reduce overload and create humane, effective teamwork. We trace the origins of Kanban for knowledge work, why “Done” should become “Learn,” and how a Seattle café experiment turned into a global pattern for better conversations and decisions.
