Introduction 

Welcome to Episode 59 of the enterprise excellence podcast. It is such a pleasure to have Mr Bruce Hamilton back on the show with us today. Bruce has created some of the most engaging knowledge transferring content I've ever come across in Lean, one of those being Toast Kaizen. In this episode, we chat about the importance of thinking longer-term and bigger picture and supporting the journey with visionary leadership. 

I encourage you to listen to episode 58 before this one if you haven't already. 

Let's get into the episode. 

We are proudly sponsored by S A Partners, a world-leading business transformation consultancy.

Two Minute Tip

06:17min Well, there's a quote from Eli Goldratt, "think globally and act locally", that is always on my mind. If you kind of look at that time frame, we arbitrarily have divided a continuum into buckets, you know, seconds, minutes, hours, weeks, months, and so on. And somewhere, there's this long-term view, and that's distant. So, where do we focus? We're right here in the present. We're always focusing on the present. What are we doing today? 

And yeah, it's out there somewhere. So, our actions are never, or not often enough, based upon that big picture. And I think we would all be better off if we were doing that. We wouldn't be having these awful news stories about the environment. And, you know, those worries if we were thinking out in the future, but then, you know, doing something about it every day. So, everybody every day, that's the slogan of our organisation. We've got to; you've got to do something every day. And you'll learn that way.
