#87 is a discussion with a returning guest, Steven J. Spear, PhD, author of the outstanding book “Chasing the Rabbit.” The book is due to be re-released in May under a new title, “The High-Velocity Edge.” In this podcast, we talk about an upcoming workshop Spear is doing for the Institute for Healthcare Improvement, lessons that healthcare can learn from other industries, and the reaction of healthcare leaders to Toyota’s recent quality problems.
