  • Lauren Hisey on Why the Continuous Improvement Community Needs to Embrace Technology
    Aug 11 2025

    Is it time for Continuous Improvement pros to embrace technology?


    While we are seeing some CI pros open up to the idea that technologies such as AI, cloud-based platforms, and process automation tools can make an impact, there is still a fair amount of aversion to adoption.


    In this episode, I had the privilege of catching up with the amazing Lauren Hisey, Lean Six Sigma Master Black Belt and technology expert to discuss this topic and much more.

  • Crystal Y. Davis Talks About How AI is Changing Strategy & Execution
    Jul 21 2025

    How can Artificial Intelligence be used to improve the way we develop, deploy, and execute company strategy?


    Strategy execution, in particular, is always important for business leaders but never urgent.

The plan isn't even thought of again until the following year when it's time to create a new one.


    Can AI help us break out of this unproductive cycle?


    I caught up with Continuous Improvement and Strategy expert, Crystal Y. Davis, to understand how she's helping leaders to better apply AI to make more intelligent decisions and better achieve company goals.

    Jun 23 2025

    For many, the word Discipline creates a visceral reaction. It's usually tied to some punitive action. However, Beau has a different take on the word discipline, especially as it pertains to creating a kaizen culture.


    In this episode, Beau and I discuss the reality that Operational Discipline is foundational to creating a kaizen culture and how the lack thereof leads to fear and toxic workplace environments.
