Joseph Paris of Xonitek and founder of the Operational Excellence Society is on the Cold Star Project to discuss OpEx and his book State of Readiness. With host Jason Kanigan, JP explores: 

What OpEx means to him, and it's not Lean Six Sigma, TQM or TPS
The definition of "State of Readiness" and its implications for industry 
How his strategic view of Operational Excellence came about, and what Strategic OpEx looks like
Whether Joseph believes a change agent with "no past" with the organization they're working on is essential to produce good results
How commonly opinions are masquerading as "facts" within organizations, leading to groupthink 
What happens when senior management stop being involved with OpEx improvements 
The notion and value of "packaging ideas for delivery" to communicate with stakeholders who may not understand operational excellence terminology   

and more.
