    Build Organizational Capacity and Capability – For Free

    ByJoseph Paris January 22, 2019January 6, 2020

    I was coaching one of the national oil companies in the Middle East, offering mentorship to the director of their operational excellence program.  He was frustrated because he had invested considerable funds building a team of sixty Lean Six Sigma Black Belts over a nine-month period, and they had not yet worked on—much less completed—any…

    ByJoseph Paris December 6, 2018January 6, 2020

    The Fault Lies Not in the Stars, but Within Ourselves

    ByJoseph Paris August 30, 2018January 6, 2020
