  • Beau Groover Explains the Role of Operational Discipline in Creating a Kaizen Culture
    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.

  • Rob Cushard Shares How Tech is Improving the Way We Improve
    Jun 16 2025

    In this episode, I sit down for a conversation with Rob Cushard, CEO of NTH Simple Solutions and Former Accenture Leader on the topic of How Tech is Improving the Way We Improve.


    We have the privilege (and terror) of living through a tech revolution. It's important that we develop a productive relationship with tech given this new power that AI and other advanced tools give us.


    What about the Continuous Improvement professional though? Where do we play in the future? Does tech serve as an enabler or replacement?


    Check out the episode and leave us a comment. We'd love to hear what you think.

  • Dave Conners on How to Get Hired in the Age of AI
    Jun 2 2025

    In this episode, we catch up with David Conners, CLSSBB, Recruiting Specialist with Randstad Enterprise Supporting Google, to discuss How to Get Hired in the Age of AI.


    The task of landing a job has changed dramatically over the past few years, largely driven by the proliferation of AI tools in recruiting.


    There was once a time when a resume was guaranteed to land in the hands of a human being who screened and decided whether or not to interview.


    Not anymore though. The algorithm is the new gate-keeper. Dave and I discuss this topic in depth in this episode of The Impruvers Podcast.
