Continuous improvement\n\n \n\nAt the end of the discussion\, attendees will have a grasp of the high-level impact of organizational readiness and capability to successfully implement and sustain change.\n\n \n\nAfter 20 years in the automotive industry\, including starting up five global manufacturing operations and multiple turnarounds\, Tom Waggoner left Mercedes-Benz as their Chief Purchasing officer in 2009 to begin coaching lean and technology teams around the world.\n\n \n\n \n\nTime will be provided for Q & A and networking with other attendees.\n\n \n\nThis event is free to attend.
