Achieving Organizational Health

The podcast with @KarenMartinOpEx highlights some not so popular subjects in many circles, planning and standard work. Karen Martin voices her opinion about these two controversial subjects while discussing how to Generate Business Results by Eliminating Chaos and Building the Foundation for Everyday Excellence, the subtitle to her new book The Outstanding Organization.

A written excerpt from the podcast is available in a recent blog post, Planning seems to be so Taboo.
