1. Organizational Behaviors and Organizational Cultures can make or break any change management program - let alone the implementation of new programs such as "Lean." How would you go about ensuring that there is a "buy-in" not just from employees but also from mid-level and senior level managers? Recall that Deming said that 80% of all quality problems begin with lack of appropriate action from management - it really is not in the worker's span of control to bring about lasting and meaningful change. In other words, management has to not only provide leadership, but also provide mechanisms for input and engagement for employees. How should "buy-in" be planned and executed? (Suggest some approaches...)

2. Summarize some of the ways one may sustain and bring about the full adoption of best practices in the workplace described above. For example, are suggestion programs beneficial to "sustaining the gains?"
