IS DECLUTTERING AND BEING MORE EFFICIENT AT HOME A NEW YEAR’S RESOLUTION?

While many quality professionals labor to improve processes in their place of employment, some don’t take the lessons they learn outside the confines of their workplace. Tonight’s program is to share Dan’s journey to deeper understanding of kaizen by living this philosophy out at home.

This presentation will help illuminate how continuous improvement thinking and practice can make family life better, save money, win contests, and even inspire children to adopt a career in quality! We hope you will spend time with us and learn what it takes to be a “kaizeneer”.
