Tea Time with The Toast Dude Webinar

Bruce Hamilton is one of my Lean heroes, and we have used his Toast Kaizen video with audiences around the world.  Now, his host organization, GBMP, is offering a series of free webinars.  These are bound to be good.  Here's the announcement:

Free Monthly Webinars by Bruce Hamilton, aka "The Toast Dude," Kick off in January with "War Rooms & Obeyas"

GBMP, Inc. is a non-profit provider of continuous improvement training, dedicated to helping organizations become more competitive through lean manufacturing education and implementation.

And now, GBMP is expanding its ability to reach those who are passionate about Lean and Continuous Improvement through its series of free monthly webinars. Our Tea Time with The Toast Dude Webinars are presented on the second Tuesday of each month by Bruce Hamilton, President of GBMP.

The first webinar (did we mention, they are free?) of 2015, titled "War Rooms & Obeyas", will take place on Tuesday, January 13, 2015 at 3 PM (Eastern). The webinar will discuss how many companies struggle with cross-functional collaboration in the pursuit of complex objectives and how War Rooms and Obeyas are used to align resources and maintain project focus for faster, more robust outcomes. Those who are passionate about Lean - from executive management to change agents working the front lines  - from the manufacturing, government, healthcare and service sectors - are encouraged to participate each month, and even suggest topics for future events, and every event includes 15-minutes for Q&A with Bruce, in real-time.

This looks like a great resource. (Although unfortunately my time zone is 12 hours head!) Lean thinking is hard to find in healthcare.
