Featuring Jess Orr
Leader247 Episode 13: Beyond Toyota — Building a Continuous Improvement System That Lasts

In this video from Episode 13, Jess Orr explains what it means to build a continuous improvement operating system instead of running disconnected projects.

Jess defines a CI system as a network of interconnected behaviors, processes, and tools that work together to achieve an intended outcome. Within that system, Daily Management is foundational.

She compares Daily Management to the nervous system: it receives signals, sends signals back, and helps the organization adjust in real time. But she also highlights the most neglected element of the system: coaching.
