5S Your Life: Stop Procrastination And Start Self-organization

The 5S methodology is widely used to create a workplace suited for visual control and lean production. Many companies worldwide apply it today to comply with the minimum requirements of health and safety, some even promote 6S and 7S. Trailblazing organizations have gone beyond, uncovering how 5S can also help change their culture to reduce procrastination, boost productivity and innovation through building self-organizing skills.
5S Your Life is a system that helps you practice the self-organization muscle to build an agile, productive and safe workplace. As a result, employees learn to become more engaged, autonomous and innovative in every endeavor, even working from home. After reading 5S Your Life, you will:
