Hi --
Thank you for a part of my newsletter group.
In this email, I'm sharing about:
- Get a free Kindle version of A Playbook for Habitual Excellence
- Book giveaways related to "My Favorite Mistake"
- Enter to win a free virtual Lean Healthcare Summit
- Another Upcoming Event
- Sharing Covid vaccination process improvements online
Free Kindle Book
This past Sunday marked the first anniversary of the death of Paul H. O'Neill, Sr., as I blogged about here. The firm Value Capture is giving away the Kindle version of a book that collects a number of transcripts of speeches that he gave. You can get that Kindle book for free through Friday (and it's normally just 99 cents).
Book Giveaway Contests - "My Favorite Mistake"
To help promote my podcast "My Favorite Mistake" (and my fantastic guests), I've been doing a number of giveaway contests if they have a book (or, in one case, a card-based party game) to offer. Many of these are signed copies. You can learn more about the contests here. Pro tip: Once you enter the contest, sharing it via social media earns you more entries.
You can also subscribe to the podcast via different apps or via email. When you get that weekly email about new episodes, click through to the post for each episode to see if there is a contest, and the entry form is embedded in the post.
Recent episodes include:
- Management author Tom Peters
- Dave Scatchard, former NHL player
- Art Bell, the creator of the Comedy Central network
- Dr. Jen Welter, the first woman to be an assistant coach in the NFL
I'm still also releasing episodes in these podcast series:
- Lean Blog Interviews (every Wednesday)
- Habitual Excellence, Presented by Value Capture (every other Tuesday)
- Lean Blog Audio (when it strikes me)
- Lean Whiskey (monthly or so)
I've also been participating in a networking group of podcasters called "Lean Communicators." Check out this website that aggregates our content or look for the hashtag #LeanCommunicators on LinkedIn.
Upcoming Events
1) I'll be presenting as part of an event that Lean Frontiers is putting on called the Virtual Indiana Lean Healthcare Summit. It was going to be an in-person event, but since it's gone virtual, you can attend from anywhere!
And they're allowing me to give away three free tickets -- click here to enter!
This is being held May 17 to 19, 2021.
2) I'm also happy to announce that I've been invited to give a TED-style 10-minute talk at the Central Coast Virtual Lean Summit. Thanks to Prof. Eric Olsen for the invite!
My title is “Red & Green is Not Lean,” so hopefully that sparks your interest.
The event is just $25. They have a lot of interaction planned so you won't be just a passive viewer — you can actually participate!
The event is going to be held on Monday, April 26, 2021, from 9:45 AM – 2:00 PM PDT.
VacciNexus!
We've heard many people in healthcare say, "We're doing great process improvement work related to Covid vaccination... but we're siloed. How do we share? How do we learn from others?"
One way is the free "VacciNexus" platform (an idea from Value Capture, powered by KaiNexus technology).
Last I checked, we had over 100 improvements shared by users that include people from nine countries and 30 U.S. states.
Learn more about the platform and apply for a free account here (if you're doing process improvement work in this realm).
You can also read a blog post I wrote about the initiative.
Thanks again!
Thanks again for being a subscriber to this occasional newsletter.
Let me know if there's anything I can do to help you and your organization, whether that's a virtual presentation, coaching, or more.
Best wishes,
Mark
