(I've Had) The Conference Time of My Life

Quality Time With MoreSteam

MoreSteam recently presented its 22nd Best Practices For Operational Excellence Conference. Practitioners and thought leaders from various industries attended the conference to discuss the latest strategies and tools for enhancing operational excellence. MoreSteam Peg Pennington is one of those industry leaders. Although not an industry leader, Quality Time With MoreSteam host Dan Swartwout attended the conference, too. In this episode, Dan and Peg reflect on their time at the conference. They discuss the presentations, workshops, and networking opportunities that made the conference such a success. Plus, this episode answers the burning question: Are continuous improvement professionals better comedy writers than generative AI?
