Managers make decisions every day. They prioritize projects, allocate resources, evaluate progress, and decide which issues deserve attention. Experience and intuition play an important role in this process. Experienced managers, in particular, develop a keen sense over the years for their company, their teams, and the challenges they face on a daily basis. But as …
When we talk about continuous improvement in healthcare, it’s about much more than efficiency, quality, or productivity. In hospitals and healthcare facilities, people are always at the center.

Many companies invest heavily in production process optimization. Shop floor boards are in place, value stream analyses are conducted, and Kaizen workshops are standard practice.
