Founder’s Corner – Joseph Paris


I have written a lot of articles and generated a lot of content for the benefit of those individuals and organizations that wish to launch (or re-launch) their Operational Excellence program.
I have created this piece of content as a sort of “evergreen” page which will serve as the conduit to my content by aspect. As an evergreen page, it will be updated from time to time as I create additional content. Perhaps its worthy of a bookmark or being favorited.


As founder of the Operational Excellence Society, Joseph Paris has contributed well over 100 articles spanning a decade and across a wide range of business topics.
Click here to browse all of his articles. There will surely be one of relevance and interest to you.








We live in a Volatile, Uncertain, Complex, and Ambiguous (VUCA) world. And the competitive advantage will go to the company that is ready to face the challenges; see further beyond the horizon, recognize opportunities and threats sooner, and be able to device and deploy decisive responses faster.

My book, “State of Readiness” has been endorsed by senior leaders at some of the most respected and well-known companies in the world today. With Foreword by Andrew Lambert, FEIT; VP of Production and Supply Chain at SpaceX.
If you are not quite ready to buy a copy of “State of Readiness” for yourself (or a colleague) just yet but are interested in learning more?

They say that “up to 70% of Operational Excellence and Continuous improvement programs fail.”  
Don’t be one of them. Be the exception, not the rule.
“Fail to plan, plan to fail.” To help you, your program, and your company to be successful, XONITEK has created a Program Architecting Whitepaper where you will find the best practices for the planning stage of an OpEx/CI program.
If you follow our prescriptive approach, the roll-out of your program will almost be anti-climactic.


Even if you already have a program, you can use it as a benchmark to see how your efforts compare.

Interim Talent
Get the Help You Need…
Sometimes we get caught because of an unplanned separation of an employee who was performing a key role in the company or project. Sometimes we have a short-term need for an experienced specialist to help push through a deliverable.
But time is the enemy. This is not a situation where you can take the time to recruit. The need is now, and help is available.


The OpEx Vault


In a continuous improvement program, is reducing spending and saving cash really the most impactful thing that can be achieved? If that is the case, then NASA’s program is most unimpressive.
Coming SOON!
There is something pretty exciting brewing at the Operational Excellence Society and a few of its partners.
We can’t say exactly what it is yet, but stay tuned and don’t touch that dial! We will be right back (hint, hint).

From theleanmag: Many get stuck on the hamster wheel intended to drive results, encourage productivity, and help individuals and organizations accomplish goals.
And yet, this cycle is exhausting and, needless to say, doesn’t position your team or organization for the most important learning to happen. What can be done?
