“Karen helped us to align on the biggest issues holding us back and supported the development of a new process to make solving these problems visible to the whole organization. This really accelerated our adoption of lean management and virtually eliminated the infighting that inhibited change. It can be a challenging process for some, but ultimately it helped us break through to a higher level of performance.” Chris W., President/CEO, Weiler Abrasive Group

Books Authored by Karen Martin

Karen is a two-time Shingo Research Award winning author who’s known for breaking complex content into digestible, practical bites. 

Winner of the 2018 Longlist 800-CEO-Read Business Book Award, Clarity First provides methods and insights for achieving clarity to unleash potential, innovate at higher levels, and solve the problems that matter to deliver outstanding business results.

The first of its kind, Value Stream Mapping helps organizations achieve significant performance improvement by delivering better and faster value to customers. 

The Outstanding Organization pinpoints why organizations aren’t performing to their fullest potential: chaos, a sneaky but powerful force that frustrates customers, keeps business leaders awake at night, and saps company morale. The book focuses on four foundational behaviors that eliminate chaos: Clarity, Focus, Discipline, and Engagement. 

Metrics-Based Process Mapping (MBPM) is a tactical-level, visual mapping approach that enables improvement teams to make effective, data-based decisions to eliminate waste and make work flow.

The Kaizen Event Planner is a practical how-to guide for planning, executing, and sustaining rapid improvements—while also building strong collaboration skills.
