Lean Blog Interviews
How do we improve our work, lead more effectively, and create better outcomes for the people we serve? In Lean Blog Interviews, I talk with practitioners, leaders, authors, and other guests about Lean management, continuous improvement, and the lessons they have learned along the way. We discuss experiences from healthcare, manufacturing, and other settings, including what worked, what did not, and what others can learn. Hosted by Mark Graban, author of Lean Hospitals and The Mistakes That Make Us.
