Remembering Chris Burnham, Our Friend and Colleague

In this episode, Greg Jacobson and Mark Graban share memories and
stories of Chris Burnham, who passed away recently.


Greg and Mark talk about being guests on Chris's podcast, The
Lean Leadership Podcast.

We answer two questions from the list of "rapid fire" questions
that Chris would ask in his podcast:


Do you have a Lean/Continuous improvement pet peeve/or what
do you frequently see being applied or being done wrong?

What do you consider the most important thing that you have
learned in your career journey?!



Here is the webinar that Chris did for us as part of the KaiNexus
series. And he was part of this panel discussion about virtual
improvement.





We dedicate today's KaiNexus Continuous Improvement Podcast
episode to a remarkable individual whose loss has been deeply
felt within the Lean community. Chris Burnham, a Lean thinker, a
podcast host, and a leader in the field, recently left us,
creating a void which has been challenging to navigate. This
episode serves as a tribute to Chris's life, his work, and his
indelible influence on those fortunate enough to cross his path.





In addition to his brilliance as a Lean thinker, Chris's
exemplary character shone through in his role as the host of the
Lean Leadership Podcast. His hunger for knowledge and openness to
new ideas defined many of his interactions. In 2015, Chris
kickstarted his podcast series by inviting Mark Graban aboard as
his inaugural guest - beginning a progressive journey through the
realm of Lean thinking and practices.
