The Improvement and Innovation Show - ‘What are the challenges driving Operational Excellence Change in a regulated industry?'
As governments, international bodies and industry regulators seek to enhance quality and mitigate risk, businesses operating in regulated industries must adapt their operations to ensure compliance. Where Change and Transformation programs designed to enhance people, processes and technology meet these regulatory demands, what are the implications for businesses and their projects?
Join us at 4pm GMT (11am EDT, 8am PDT, 10am CDT) where our host, David Howells, panellist David Bovis will be talking with guests, Angel Garcia, Global Continuous Improvement Leader at Catalent Pharma Solutions, and Dale Easdon, COO of Snap Kitchen, as we discuss the challenges and opportunities experienced by those driving Operational Excellence and Change programs across a range of regulated industries.
Broadcast live over Google Hangouts and Youtube, the Improvement and Innovation Show is hosted by panellists David Howells and David Bovis. Every month the panel are joined by guests from businesses actively involved in the latest innovation and improvement programmes and projects.
Viewers are able to join the conversation by asking questions and commenting on our chat stream within the live broadcast or on Twitter using #iandishow.
