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.

Episode 33 - Six-Pack Abs

Topic: Most companies strive to be high-performing organizations – the equivalent of having “six-pack abs”.  But getting fit takes a lot of dedication and hard work – and unfortunately, most companies just have “ab”.  In this episode of The Outliers Inn, Jim will share with us his experiences in trying to help companies become leaner and meaner; the challenges companies face, the challenges he has faced, how they were overcome (or not), what has worked, what has not worked, and the perils and pitfalls to recognize and avoid.

Hosts: Joseph Paris, Founder of the OpEx Society & The XONITEK Group of Companies
