Introduction

A strategy is only as strong as its connection to the people delivering it. In Episode 207 of the Enterprise Excellence Podcast, Brad Jeavons sits down with Richard Steel, a global expert with over 40 years of experience in operational excellence, Lean deployment, and behavioural change, to explore how organisations can align improvement activities directly with their vision, values, and strategic goals.

From involving frontline teams in shaping strategy to using visual management, daily huddles, and root cause analysis as powerful alignment tools, Richard shares practical methods that turn plans into progress. This conversation reveals how culture, communication, and recognition work together to create a system of continuous improvement that delivers results where it matters most — at the frontline.
