Monthly Musing

“Twenty years from now, you will be more disappointed by the things that you didn’t do than by the things you did do. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover.” – Mark Twain

OpEx/CI Program Strategies

Eulogy of a Continuous Improvement Program

Know What?

… So What.

Choose Your Hard

Operational Excellence Program Design and Deployment

They say that “up to 70% of Operational Excellence and Continuous improvement programs fail.”

Don’t be one of them. Be the exception, not the rule.

“Fail to plan, plan to fail.” To help you, your program, and your company to be successful, XONITEK has created a Program Architecting Whitepaper where you will find the best practices for the planning stage of an OpEx/CI program.

If you follow our prescriptive approach, the roll-out of your program will almost be anti-climactic.

Even if you already have a program, you can use it as a benchmark to see how your efforts compare.

I am sure you will find it as funny, enjoyable, and inspirational as I did. And I am certain you will end-up with a smile on your face and a bounce in your step.

The Outliers Inn

In this evening at the Inn, Antlerboy and JP exchange confessions of having started other podcasts before welcoming our guests for some hot toddies on a cold winter’s evening.

Our guests include: Sam from Sweden who laments the lack of sunlight during winter, but shares with us his journey in re-inventing himself; Stephane from France who shares the contradictions of holiday shopping under COVID; and Mandalyn who sings a song for us.

The Outliers Inn is a place where all are welcome. It’s a place where we can be a lot less serious about ourselves, what we do, what our businesses do, and the manner in which they do it.
