What do people in other functions at your organization think lean is all about?For many—in HR, OD, Finance, or operations—the answer is simple: process improvement, efficiency, waste elimination. And while those are pieces of the puzzle, they miss the bigger picture.Too often, continuous improvement and operational excellence teams get pigeonholed as “process people,” making it hard to gain traction or build the partnerships needed for real transformation.But lean isn't just about processes—it's about people.

Now, in Part 2, I'm sharing the practical side: The Blueprint for Building Bridges. I'll walk you through the four components - Vision, Awareness, Adaptation, and Activation - along with the glue that holds them together: curiosity and compassion.

In this episode of Reboot IT, host Dave Coriale, President of DelCor, sits down with fellow podcasters KiKi L'Italien (former EVP Marketing & Community), Joanna Pineda (CEO, Matrix Group), and Dave Will (Co-founder, PropFuel) to discuss why technology implementations often take longer than expected. From strategic misalignment and governance bottlenecks to emotional resistance and resource constraints, the group explores the underlying causes of slow change. Themes and Topics:The Emotional Impact of Letting GoKiKi shares her experience stepping away from Association Chat after 16 years, describing a mix of grief and relief.Joanna reflects on taking a break from LinkedIn during a personal loss and the surprising sense of freedom it brought.The group discusses how identity and purpose are often tied to long-term projects, making change psychologically difficult.Strategic Planning and Prioritization GapsAssociations often struggle to define clear strategic goals, making it hard to prioritize technology decisions.Lack of alignment on KPIs leads to confusion and stalled initiatives.Dave Will emphasizes that knowing what's important makes change easier and faster.Governance and Decision-Making BottlenecksToo many stakeholders involved in decisions leads to paralysis and delays.Joanna suggests sunsetting committees when strategic plans change to realign focus and authority.Leadership must clarify who owns decisions and avoid retroactive interference.Risk Aversion and Culture of CautionAssociations operate in a highly visible environment, making them more cautious about failure.Fear of public scrutiny and investing too early in emerging tech (like AI) slows down innovation.Dave Will notes that experimentation is often discouraged, even when it could lead to valuable breakthroughs.Leadership and Ownership Leadership must define clear goals and empower teams to make decisions without fear of being second-guessed.Joanna highlights the importance of psychological safety and trust in project ownership.Late-stage leadership involvement often derails progress and undermines team autonomy.Resource Constraints and Internal SilosMany associations lack internal tech expertise or project management capacity, leading to delays.Misunderstanding the need for internal PMs results in stalled implementations.Silos between departments (e.g., marketing, membership, IT) hinder collaboration and alignment.

Antony Slumbers is a leading voice on the future of real estate, keynote speaker, and educator on AI for property leaders. Antony Slumbers doesn't just talk PropTech—he created it. Long before "PropTech" was even a word, he launched the UK's first commercial real estate website in 1995. Now he's teaching the industry how to survive what's coming next. This isn't your typical tech cheerleading session. Antony cuts through the noise to explain why PropTech's cooling hype actually signals its maturation. The party's over. Now comes the real work. The brutal truth? Most real estate companies are trapped in silos, burning millions on point solutions that don't talk to each other. Meanwhile, smart operators are building ecosystems that orchestrate data, tools, and trust into genuine competitive advantages. We dive into Space as a Service—Antony's concept that predicted the death of the 20-year lease. Real estate has flipped from creating bonds for investors to creating experiences for humans. Miss this shift, and you're toast. Then there's Generative AI. MIT just dropped a bombshell: 95% of corporate AI projects are failing spectacularly. We break down why this mirrors every tech adoption cycle in history—and what the winning 5% are doing differently. The warning is clear: Companies that don't master these tools will face competitors operating at 5-10x their speed. It's "slowly then suddenly" time. We close with Antony's unfiltered take on tech hype. Spoiler: he really hates the Metaverse.

Send us a textToday, I'm here with my good friend and fellow podcaster, Ken Fong. Every week, the two of us dig deep into the big conversations shaping our lives, our culture, and the soul of our nation. We come to you from different vantage points, different life experiences, but with a shared commitment to truth, curiosity, and connection.This week, we talk about something that's been quietly eroding the way we live together as Americans — the loss of a national audience. Remember when 34 million people tuned in to watch The Cosby Show? Today, Stephen Colbert barely pulls in 3 million viewers. We're living in silos now, fragmented into tribes, each consuming our own narrow stream of information. Entertainment. E pluribus unum — out of many, one — feels more like a historical slogan than a lived reality.We'll also tackle the ongoing culture wars: from attacks on diversity, equity, and inclusion, to the rise of a “colorblind” narrative that erases cultural heritage, to the growing movement to merge church and state. Figures like Doug Wilson, Pete Hegseth, Russell Vought, and Charlie Kirk are openly advocating for a theocratic America — one where women are subordinate and “Christian nationalism” rules the land.And beyond politics, we're looking at the real impact of fear and division — from ICE raids in our neighborhoods to the suppression of voices that challenge the status quo.It's time to wake up. Join us in the conversation.SHOW NOTESSupport the showBecome a Patron - Click on the link to learn how you can become a Patron of the show.

Craig Limoli, Co-Founder and CEO of Wellsheet, is streamling workflows for clinicians by providing better access to patient data and improving care coordination across care teams.  Wellsheet is integrated into existing health records to provide a seamless experience to users and help to reduce "pajama time" for doctors by reducing the amount of end-of-the-day work needed to document patient encounters.  Wellsheet uses AI and natural language processing to surface the most relevant information for clinicians and generate documentation, reducing time spent and improving efficiency. Craig explains, "Wellsheet is a care team, co-pilot that serves physicians as well as other clinicians with better access to all of the data they need to make treatment decisions for patients, as well as easier coordination across the whole care team. So we're really designed as a company and as a product to support a broad array of clinicians, both physicians, nursing case managers, and surface the data most relevant to them in the way that they want to see it. We coordinate care across those multidisciplinary stakeholders in a way that is seamlessly embedded and integrated into the existing electronic health record systems to ultimately create a really seamless and cohesive experience for our users." "So our technology is embedded within Epic, Cerner, and other major EHRs. So physicians and other clinicians access it with the click of a button directly within their workflow in the EHR. They don't have to log in again, they don't have to reidentify the patient. It all feels like a native part of their EHR experience. And as soon as they click into Wellsheet, they are presented with a summarized view of the most relevant information from the entire patient's medical history and what pertains to that particular encounter, all in a single place."    #Wellsheet #ClinicalWorkflow #EHR #AI #ClinicalAI #MultidisciplinaryCare #PhysicianBurnout #DigitalHealth wellsheet.com Download the transcript here

What happens when pet sitters and independent veterinarians start working together more intentionally? Dr. Christie Cornelius, Director of the Independent Veterinary Practitioners Association, joins the show to discuss the unique challenges and strengths of independently owned veterinary practices. She explores how pet sitters can play a pivotal role in improving pet health outcomes through strong communication and observation. The conversation covers evolving veterinary trends, AI integration, and practical ways to establish partnerships between sitters and clinics. Dr. Cornelius shares how trust, storytelling, and showing up consistently can build lasting community relationships. Main Topics Independent veterinary clinic challenges Pet sitter-veterinarian collaboration AI in veterinary care Building trust and communication End-of-life and hospice pet care Main takeaway: “What they want is they want to be invited into your mission, and they want to participate in that, and then showing them how care is actually a collective act builds those lasting bonds.” As pet sitters, we often feel like we're doing it all on our own. But the truth is, the most powerful care happens when we collaborate. Pet parents are craving connection and clarity—they want to know that their sitter, their vet, and everyone involved in their pet's life are on the same page. When we open the door to cooperation, we don't just lighten our load—we build bonds that benefit the pet most. Invite others into your mission. That's where the magic happens. About our guest: Dr. Christie Cornelius is a veterinarian with over two decades of experience, currently serving as the Director of the Independent Veterinary Practitioners Association. After founding Texas's first water-based pet cremation and home hospice care business, she sold her practice to help launch BluePearl's national pet hospice program. Now, she focuses on consulting and empowering other independent vets through leadership, business strategy, and community collaboration. Based on Galveston Island, Dr. Cornelius also provides in-home veterinary services in her local area. Links: https://www.iveterinarians.org Check out our Starter Packs See all of our discounts!

Wie Gurken mit einem Gurkenflieger geerntet werden – das schaut sich Siham in Niederbayern an. Was aussieht wie ein Segelflugzeug hilft Gurkenbauer Ludwig und seinem Team dabei, Gurken per Hand zu ernten. Dabei fährt ein Traktor langsam über das Feld, damit die 24 Erntehelfer:innen links und rechts auf den beiden Plattformen ganz genau arbeiten können. Siham darf das natürlich selbst einmal ausprobieren… Nachdem jede Menge Gurken geerntet wurden, wird im zweiten Teil der Sachgeschichte gezeigt, wie diese zu Salzgurken verarbeitet werden. In riesigen Speicherbehältern, den sogenannten Silos, werden die Gurken in Salzsole eingelegt. Wenn dieser Prozess – die Fermentierung der Gurken – abgeschlossen ist, müssen sie als nächstes zum Entsalzen in einen Frischwassertank. Dann werden sie noch sortiert, geschnitten und in Portionen verpackt und schon sind sie fertig für ihren Einsatz – zum Beispiel auf einem leckeren Burger! Bei der Produktion von Salzgurken bleiben riesige Mengen Salzsole übrig. Wofür könnte man die noch gebrauchen? Eine Firma in Niederbayern hatte ein tolle Idee: Die Salzsole kann für den Einsatz beim Winterdienst verarbeitet werden – Gurkenwasser gegen Glätte. Siham begleitet das Gurkenwasser vom Silo bis hin zur Straßenmeisterei. Und zeigt in einem Experiment, wie das salzige Gurkenwasser im Winter auf der Straße wirkt…

July 28, 2025: Jacob Hansen, Chief Product and Technology Officer at AvaSure, examines how healthcare is shifting from siloed departments to cross-functional journey teams. How are these collaborative approaches finally breaking through traditional barriers that have slowed healthcare innovation? The conversation explores the emerging world of agentic AI while grappling with where automation enhances care versus where the human touch remains irreplaceable. As ambient clinical documentation technology gains traction and physician acceptance, Jacob shares insights from AvaSure's virtual care maturity model and reflects on what patients actually want from healthcare technology. Can incremental implementation build the trust needed for widespread adoption, and will AI finally serve as the equalizer that brings healthcare innovation up to speed with other industries?

The Damen Silos in McKinley Park on Chicago's Southwest side serve as a visual reminder of the city's history as an agrarian trading center. But the process to demolish the silos is now underway. Reset speaks with Kate Eakin, executive director of McKinley Park Development Council, and Chicago journalist Robert Loerzel about the role the silos played in early 20th-century Chicago and what lies ahead for the site and the surrounding neighborhood.

Joelle Tegwen: Breaking Knowledge Silos Through Strategic Skill Sharing Read the full Show Notes and search through the world's largest audio library on Agile and Scrum directly on the Scrum Master Toolbox Podcast website: http://bit.ly/SMTP_ShowNotes. Working as a Scrum Master on a team rewriting an old application, Joelle faced a significant challenge: experienced developers were located in India while new, experienced developers brought in locally lacked familiarity with the medical domain. Drawing inspiration from The Phoenix Project, she implemented a skills matrix to address the knowledge silos that were preventing new team members from contributing effectively.  Using a teacher-student model, initially frustrated leaders who had to work with "students" discovered within 2-3 sprints that they were also learning new things and no longer carried the pressure of being the only ones with critical knowledge. The new team members brought fresh ideas that improved the codebase, and when the team eventually grew too large, the skills matrix facilitated smooth self-selection for team reorganization. What started as a solution to get new hires productive evolved into a comprehensive approach to knowledge sharing and team scalability. Self-reflection Question: Where do knowledge silos exist in your current team or organization, and how could you implement structured knowledge sharing to transform those constraints into learning opportunities?

The extended leadership team (those just below the C-suite) often finds itself stuck between translating strategy and triaging dysfunction. They're tasked with cross-functional execution, but are rarely equipped, empowered, or aligned to pull it off. And in most organizations, this group is caught in a cycle of managing up, managing down, and managing chaos all around—with very little time or clarity left to lead. This week, Rodney and Sam take a closer look at what's really going on with extended leadership teams, why they matter so much, and what gets in their way. From power dynamics and peer competition to vertical incentives and missing cross-functional glue, they pull apart the system that makes this group so hard to organize—and so critical to transformation. They also share field-tested tactics that can turn this underutilized layer into an OS-upgrading powerhouse. -------------------------------- Let's work together: ⁠⁠⁠https://www.theready.com/working-together⁠⁠⁠ Get our newsletter: ⁠⁠⁠Sign up here⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠.

Perhaps you've seen them while driving on I-55, riding the Orange Line, or even watching that one Transformers movie – the Damen Silos have been an iconic southwest side structure for over a century. Despite being abandoned for the last 50 years, the once revolutionary grain elevators have been a key site for urban explorers, graffiti artists, and McKinley Park neighbors alike. Now the city has issued a demolition permit, and owners say it'll take about six months. The City Cast Chicago team discusses neighbors' demolition concerns, the ongoing preservation fight, and how we would redevelop the land.
