S13.E5-8: AN AGILEAN APPROACH TO TOUGH MARKETS: BUILD IT BETTER, FASTER, FOR LESS WITH WILLIAM EASTMAN

Remember the movie from the  1970's "If It's Tuesday, This Must Be Belgium"?

Probably not, but at IBGR we have the same dynamic - "If It's Tuesday, It Must Be Operations".

This season we look at Operations from the agilean perspective - processes that are both lean and agile at the same time.

Yesterday, Finance Monday, we looked at the results, today we are looking at cost drivers.

Welcome to Season 13, yes this starts the 13th quarter of business broadcasting. In non-radio terms tonight starts our 3rd year plus one day broadcasting business talk and news globally,. IBGR is heard in 183 countries with 490,000 podcast downloads - all in less than three years.

​When we started there was this crazy idea that radio could serve as an alternative training platform. Instead of going to a remote location or signing in to a video call, what if you could listen to a program designed for you on demand - more about that later.

Launching in our Tuesday Operations dashboard is our best work on the topic of building an agile and lean organization - agilean.

Today I will overview the shops in the Operations Track through the last Tuesday of June. You can listen live and/or download the show notes and podcast - it's up to you.
