The Outliers Inn

The Outliers Inn is a place where people from all businesses and roles within business can examine goings-ons from different and hopefully humourous perspectives. It’s a place where we can be a lot less serious about ourselves, what we do, what our businesses do, and the manner in which they do it.

Whether you are in finance, sales, logistics, production. operations, human resources. facilities management. information technology – whatever your role might be – business people are always taking themselves too seriously – or are taken too seriously by others. All that ends here.

It’s a place where respectful irrevernce and self-deprecating humor is the order of the day.
We release a new podcast at least once a month though when during the month that is varies based on everyone’s schedule. Please consider subscribing to the podcast so as not to miss an episode.

About the Podcast

Topic: We were pleased to have Dino Marsili speak to us at today’s Episode #24 of the Outliers Inn. Dino is a Certified Master Black Belt at Cisco Systems. In fact, he is the first ever Cisco Certified Master Black Belt. His predecessors are all recognized Master Black Belts from other companies. It took Dino just under 18 months to complete the Master Black Belt certification journey. Dino shared his experience over the years. He graduated as a Chemical / Petroleum Engineer and worked 19 years as a Chemical and Petroleum Engineer for Chevron Corporation. His quality journey started about halfway through that tenure when he became the ISO 9000 Coordinator at one of Chevron’s major chemical plants. His Six Sigma journey began in 2001 when he left Chevron for Sun Microsystems. He became certified as Green and Black Belt at Sun. After 8 years and being acquired by Oracle, Dino moved on to his current role at Cisco. The conversation centered on the success of Dino’s Six Sigma Program at Cisco. Now considered a mature and well-recognized program, Dino is still pitted with challenges. Check out the discussions about the Hegelian Dialectic, Mount Stupid, and how Dino plans to beat the trend.

Hosts: Joseph Paris, Founder of the OpEx Society & The XONITEK Group of Companies
  Benjamin Taylor,  Managing Partner of RedQuadrant, and Chief Executive of the Public Service Transformation Academy.
