The Importance of Building a Lean Culture With Brett Cooper, Co-founder of Integris Performance Advisors

We saved a seat for you to join us at the Just-In-Time Cafe this week to talk about apps, news, books and all things related to good clean problem solving.

We’ll cover an app that gives PowerPoint a face lift. On today’s Bulletin Board we’ll find out how El Paso is going to show us “The Way” and then we’ll find out why GoLeanSixSigma.com is in the news (I hope it’s not the Police Report…). For Tools of the Trade we’ll review Patrick Lencioni’s new book – He’s famous for The 5 Dysfunctions of a Team and his latest covers the Three Virtues of the best team players. Our Special Request comes from a subscriber who has uncovered a Lean “Battle of the Acronyms” and for Today’s Special, Tracy will be interviewing a Lean veteran who addresses the concept of “Intentional Culture.” We make our ice cubes out of coffee here at the cafe so we never serve anything diluted – We give it to you straight!
