How do you define what excellence is in an organization? Jesse DePriest, a Lean Transformation Coach and Director of Operational Excellence at First National Bank of Omaha, joins us once more to explore defining, measuring, and solving challenges. He demystifies and pushes aside all of the well-known terminology for a straightforward look at what it takes to continuously improve, no gimmicks. 

"That's magic. We're creating that environment where people are asking for help to solve these obstacles. Now we've got an environment for learning ripe for process improvement." Tune in to learn more about simple process improvement! 

During this episode, Jesse mentions two books which can be found with the links below:

  • Measures of Success: React Less, Lead Better, Improve More by Mark Graban
