Quotes:
“It’s figuring out how do we look a little bit further down the road to understand what we have and what we don’t have so we can proactively plan around it.” - Mike Ryan, (2:19)
“If a business is running on EOS, they’ve got a process, they’ve got people, and most importantly, their accountability is defined…the results are going to be not as favorable and not as sustainable as a business that has people, process, and technology running in a framework like EOS.” - Mike Ryan, (5:54)
“...what I find so exciting is when people get clear about what their ten-year target, three-year picture, or one-year plan is. When they get clear about that…they can begin to compartmentalize the journey that they have rather than trying to do it all at once or carrying all that imagination.” - Mike Ryan, (11:38)
“When the predictability and repeatability goes out of the supply chain, the ability to do ‘just in time’ goes away with it.” - Mike Ryan, (23:27)
