Improving Our Children's Education With Carla O'Dell and Dewey Dorsett From APQC

This month we’ll spend time with Carla O’Dell, the CEO of the American Productivity and Quality Center as she and one of their Education Consultants gives us the inside scoop on how Lean Six Sigma is helping to give our children a better education.

We’ll tell you about an app that helps you find out what your employees are really thinking. In the news we’ll hear how sharing a backhoe, among other things, helped Ventura County, CA save over $7M and why the “Golden Dump Truck” is like the Stanley Cup to a 5S team in Iowa. We’ll discuss a ground-breaking book that explains why the infamous “carrot & stick” no longer motivate us and we’ll answer a question from one of our learners about the difference between Lean Six Sigma and ISO 9001. It’s summer somewhere so grab an iced coffee and we’ll meet you at the Just-In-Time Cafe!
