Key Tweets from @MarkGraban – Week of April 4, 2016: Fishbones, Kaizen, Green Belt Nun

Here's the latest installment of “Key Tweets,” a weekly post that summarizes some of my tweets (or retweets) from the week, including pictures and other fun stuff. Follow me @MarkGraban and join the fun and the conversation. See the previous installments of Key Tweets here.

Wednesday's blog post was mostly a collection of tweets about the “Kaizen Live!” workshop at Franciscan St. Francis Health. Check it out. Those tweets aren't repeated here.
