In this episode, Keith Norris is ed by Kevin Clay, founder of Six Sigma Development Solutions and author of Why They Fail, to explore why most Lean and CI efforts fall short—and how to build a culture where they actually thrive.
🔻 Why most Lean initiatives fail (and how to avoid the common traps)
🔻 The mistake of training belts without building the right infrastructure
🔻 What executives must do to make CI stick—from KPIs to project prioritization
🔻 Why “Go find a project” is a sign of failure
🔻 The role of a “project hopper” and how to align improvement with business goals
🔻 How CI drives real career growth—and how to build programs that last
Kevin shares hard-earned insights from decades of experience training thousands of professionals across industries—from the Army to aerospace—and helps us see how small changes in structure, mindset, and leadership can transform outcomes.
