Quotes

03:38min And I think it's so important for organisations to find ways to improve more effectively on an ongoing basis.

07:00min It's a challenge for people to know what highly effective improvement practices look like because most people have never seen it.

09:08min And so your standard work moves from being this list of activities to much more behavioural change first of all for yourself. And then as you start to do that, then I think influencing the way that it is others are behaving and helping them to become actually better people in life.
