About This Episode

Welcome back to another episode of Yarns With Andy!

This week I've got my really good friend Marc Parsons on to chat about Lean and Kaizen, the Japanese process of cutting waste.

Marc is the strategic program manager for digitalization at New Zealand Post, but has an extensive military background.

He gives us some great insight into continuous improvement, growing success and killing off waste in order to optimize what you're doing.
