I love this quote from Eiji Toyoda, by way of Jon Miller's Gemba Panta Rei blog post, The Man Who Saved Kaizen:
On Toyota's secret sauce:
"Ultimately, there are no special secret strategies to the Toyota Production System. We are just doing the obvious things, thoroughly, without omission, as a habit. This is simple, but difficult to do consistently across large organizations."
Reminds me of what Mr. Nagamatsu of Shingijutsu shared with us years ago while at Tektronix-Danaher: "There is no magic fairy dust!"
That said, what I've found if you do the basic (obvious) things thoroughly, without omission, as a habit, then 'magic' happens! .....there's just no bottle for it.
