Courtney Kissler is one of the pioneers in DevOps Enterprise leadership.  Starting back at her days at Nordstrom. Some of my favorite stories in the DevOps Handbook are based on some of Courtney's experiences.  We cover the gambit on topics related to Deming, Rother, Goldratt, and Hosen Kanari.  My fanboy comes out pretty hard in this episode. I think Courtney is a great example of a true leader. 

Note: We had some latency issues in the recording and it comes out a bit in the recording. I tried to clean it up a bit; however, it's still a little tinny. With our busy agendas, I decided to go with quantity over quality here. 

We finish up the second part of my conversation with Dr. Spear. 

This is a part 1 podcast.  The second podcast will be posted in a few weeks. (sorry for the abrupt ending). This a podcast I did about a year ago in a different portal.  I am a huge fan of Dr. Spear.  I always say that there are only two books to read when it comes to Lean. Mike Rother’s Toyota Kata and Dr. Spear, High Velocity Edge.  Dr. Spear is one of my favorite DevOps Enterprise Summit speakers.  In this episode, we cover the gambit of Lean, TPS, Culture just about everything cool you can think about.  For more information about Dr. Spear check out his highveloctyedge.com site. 

Had a great time talking with George about all things Deming and Goldratt. It went a little long but we kept bringing up new and cool ideas.  George is a great industry student of Deming's work, lean, and Theory of Constraints.  Hope you enjoy it!

Another great conversation with Jeffrey Fredrick author of Agile Conversations.  We cover his background and his views on Deming, Agile and Lean.  

Mary and Tom are instrumental figures on the path I call "Deming to Devops". We discuss their journey from lean to their modern-day thought leadership roles.  Chatting with Mary and Tom about Dr. Deming... it doesn't get any better than this. 

In this episode, I have an amazing conversation with Dr. Doris Quinn.  Doris has a fascinating story about how she met Dr. Deming and all traveled with him in the last few years of his life. We also discuss Doris's amazing career from nurse to leading to a Ph.D. in process improvement and quality education and one of the leading industry healthcare quality leaders.

In this episode, I chat with my old friend Ben Rockwood.  Ben introduced me to Dr. Deming at an early Devopsdays.  Ben is a real student in this field and I am sure you will enjoy this podcast.

Introduction to the new Profound podcast.  This is podcast focuses on topics related to Dr. Deming.
