2012 Podcast of Year–Deming with John Hunter

Each season, I create different themes through out the year. Though I do not follow them exactly, I do try to create somewhat of a flow The 2012 Business901 podcast season incorporated over 60 podcasts and the subject matter flowed through the year in this order with Lean be the central theme throughout the year.

1. Service Design
2. Appreciative Inquiry
3. Lean Thinking
4. Training (Simulations, Gaming, Storytelling)
5. Lean Construction
6. Lean Design
7. Change Management

I had a great time learning from my guests and was honored that they were willing to participate. Considering the competition for the number one podcast of the year, I know there are quite a few people waiting to hear who it was, Deming in 2012 was the hands down winner. Below is the podcast and the transcript for you to enjoy one more time.
