What this episode covers

Stampede Digital Systems and the Know Like Trust podcast presents: Katie Labedz: Learning to Lean You may be someone who has set a goal.  Most people have. Businesses set them all the time. Achieving those goals usually boils down to systems.  In business or outside of it, systems are the things that, over and over, bring consistent success.  Success is success, right?  Unfortunately, sometimes success comes with a price tag that is too large to pay. Sometimes our systems make our success more like failures. Wouldn’t it be nice to know someone who could help us make sure that does not happen? Introducing Katie Labedz: Katie says that most of our systems have a lot of waste in them. Her story is the story so often found in entrepreneurs. She had talent and skills and was working in the corporate world when a mentor saw in her something special.  The mentor mentioned the lean business model and how it aligned with her vision of how businesses could improve themselves. Like the proverbial duck to water, Katie took to the challenge and is now a certified Lean Six Sigma Master Black Belt a Project Management Pro and certified instructor and facilitator in guiding businesses to improve their processes and embark an creating a culture of continuous improvement so that when business succeed it is at a price that they can afford. In today’s show, Katie talks about her story and about how these models, so effective and popular in the manufacturing world, can be and need to be used in non-manufacturing businesses, especially because, in such, their systems are less clear and road blocks, bottlenecks and waste are harder to identify and correct.
