In spite of the ever-growing army of Green Belt and Black Belts who are busy digesting process improvement projects, the rate of new process problem creation appears to exceed the rate of process problem resolution. Process design is a critical skill for every organization - but it's too often left to chance and it doesn't have to be a complicated engineering exercise.

Just a few months before taking the stage at COE's Leading Through Excellence summit, New York Times reporter and The Power of Habit author Charles Duhigg gave an exclusive interview where he talked about the lessons learned in his bestseller and gave insights on how it applies to operational excellence.
Leading Through Excellence sponsor MoreSteam.com LLC is proud to host a Friday workshop from 12:30 p.m. to 3:30 p.m., following the morning's keynote address and lunch.
COE will begin its Thursday programming with a morning address by the leader of one of the 50 largest private corporations in the U.S.: Craig Morrison (pictured left), CEO of Columbus-based Momentive Performance Materials Holdings. Through industry growth and strategic mergers, Momentive has grown to a nearly $8 billion organization, dwarfing its size a decade ago.
The Leading Through Excellence summit will convene in the afternoon for a special visit from The Ohio State University President Gordon Gee. He's one of the most highly respected and experienced leaders in American higher education, having been named one of the top 10 university presidents in 2009 by Time magazine. Prior to returning to the university in 2007, Gee led Ohio State from 1990 to 1997.
