Episode #88 is a conversation with a returning guest, Jim Baran of the firm Value Stream Leadership (he is @leanVSL on Twitter, also). His sites include the Lean Career Compass and his Lean Career Guide blog. In this podcast, Jim talks about a shift in his firm’s business model away from traditional recruiting and placement to helping companies manage Lean talent within their organization. We’ve structured the discussion to follow somewhat of a “Verbal A3” format, so I hope that helps.
