Questions discussed in this interview:
- Let's start with a big question - what does continuous improvement mean to you?
- Why do you think companies need to continuously improve how they improve?
- What does that look like in practice? (i.e. how can we continuous improve)
- Can you give me an example of something you do (or have done) at Union Pacific Railway to achieve this?
- It's funny that the continuous improvement profession would have a hard time continuously improving. Why do you think this is so difficult?
