“In this Keynote Address Mr. Bodek will be discussing the fundamentals behind the Kaizen philosophy of continuous improvement. He will speak to how the Construction Industry can get rid of the ‘Punch-list Syndrome.'”
Knowing Norman, this talk will be of value to people in any industry, not just construction. The conference website is a bit confusing, it might be $50 for the online webcast, streaming or “on-demand.” The webcast is Wednesday morning, July 18, 2007.
I'm going to release my next LeanBlog Podcast with Norman, probably next weekend. It will celebrate the one year anniversay of my Podcast, which really started because of Norman's idea to do an audio interview, so he was the first Podcast. I'm appreciative to him for the idea that turned into the Podcast series.
