Welcome to the March 17 IndustryWeek Continuous Improvement newsletter. In this edition, we explore organizational vision by way of the latest Behind the Curtain: Adventures in Continuous Improvement podcast. Too often, say hosts John Dyer and Dr. Mohamed Saleh, company visions are poorly done—if the organization has a vision at all. However, never fear: The duo offer suggestions about how to develop and nurture an effective vision.
In this issue, we also explore how technologies such as AI and smart manufacturing augment a continuous improvement culture, and why process fragility is a good thing.
I'd also like to turn your attention to the 2026 IW Best Plants Awards competition. The April 3 deadline is approaching. Likewise, we have an upcoming deadline, April 15, for the Call for Speakers for our October IndustryWeek Operations Leadership Summit, which will be held in South Carolina.
As always, let me know if you have any questions.—Jill Jusko, [email protected]
