KaiNexus: Continuous Improvement, Leadership, and More

Mark Graban and Dr. Greg Jacobson from KaiNexus once again take questions from our customers and our community. Topics include: Hurricane Dorian and Greg's experience in The Bahamas How to convince top management that improvement is key initiative that must be taken during recession? What are some standard measurements used for improvement projects that could be rolled up to an overall measurement goal. (i.e. I am the central continuous office for State of Iowa, I would like individual agencies to report measurements of their continuous improvement efforts to me so the State as a whole can report on improvements) What are the key points which should trigger a kaizen event?
