Introduction

Tracy:  Hey, Elisabeth. How is it going?

Elisabeth:  Hey, Tracy. We are back at the café. I am so psyched.

Tracy:  I know. I’m so hungry. I think we should get into our private room and I’m going to get a menu so we can get something to eat, too. Hey, what’s on the menu today anyway?

What’s on the Menu (Podcast Agenda)

Elisabeth:  Well, let me grab it. Let’s see. Coming up, we’ve got an Appetizer that’s a new app called Scannable by Evernote. We’re going to find out about that. We’ve got—next up on the menu is Bulletin Board. That’s where we find out about some Lean Six Sigma news. I think we’re going into hospitals with Lean Six Sigma and then the City of Louisville—

Tracy:  Nice.

Elisabeth:  –with Lean Six Sigma. Yeah. I’m psyched for that. Next up is Tools of the Trade, and for that one, we are going to look at Talk Like Ted, a book about how people—the rules around creating TED talks or what makes a successful TED talk. And then there’s a Special Request, a little Q&A; about government agencies and how to bring Lean Six Sigma in when there’s a lot of heavy regulation. And then there’s Today’s Special.

Tracy:  Yes.

Elisabeth:  Tracy, who’s on Today’s Special?

Tracy:  Today, we have Marc Meyers from San Diego State University. He’s the director of Process Improvement Programs there.
