Paris Jr. ## Chairman at Xonitek, Founder of Operational Excellence Society, Author of "State of Readiness" *For the 21st Century Company, time is the enemy.  Whether its technology, competition, globalization, or geopolitical; we live in a world of disruption and uncertainty that is coming at us at an accelerated pace from just a few years ago.  As such, it will not be the company facing disruption or causing disruption that will prevail, but rather the company that is in the better state of readiness – the company that is able to see further beyond the horizon, recognize the opportunity or peril, and more quickly devise and deploy decisive responses to engage – that will prevail.*  In this session, we will explore the need for building a high-performance organization that is collaborative, nimble, that understands its capacity and capabilities (and its limitations) in real-time and the strategic advantage of being expert at accelerating the decision-making process. ![Lean and Operational Excellence Progression: “A State of Readiness”](https://insights.btoes.com/hs-fs/hubfs/joseph%20paris%20P%20for%20CTA.png?width=1078&name=joseph%20paris%20P%20for%20CTA.png "Lean and Operational Excellence Progression: “A State of Readiness”") **Premium Content: BTOES Slide Decks** **[View More Contributor Content](https://insights.btoes.com/business-transformation-operational-excellence/premium-contributor-content)**  ### Lean and Operational Excellence Progression: “A State of Readiness” [![Share on Facebook](https://static.hubspot.com/final/img/common/icons/social/facebook-24x24.png)](http://www.facebook.com/share.php?u=https%3A%2F%2Finsights.btoes.com%2Foperational-excellence%2Flean-and-operational-excellence-progression-a-state-of-readiness-1%3Futm_medium%3Dsocial%26utm_source%3Dfacebook) [![Share on LinkedIn](https://static.hubspot.com/final/img/common/icons/social/linkedin-24x24.png)](http://www.linkedin.com/shareArticle?mini=true&url=https%3A%2F%2Finsights.btoes.com%2Foperational-excellence%2Flean-and-operational-excellence-progression-a-state-of-readiness-1%3Futm_medium%3Dsocial%26utm_source%3Dlinkedin) [![Share on Twitter](https://static.hubspot.com/final/img/common/icons/social/twitter-24x24.png)](https://twitter.com/intent/tweet?original_referer=https%3A%2F%2Finsights.btoes.com%2Foperational-excellence%2Flean-and-operational-excellence-progression-a-state-of-readiness-1%3Futm_medium%3Dsocial%26utm_source%3Dtwitter&url=https%3A%2F%2Finsights.btoes.com%2Foperational-excellence%2Flean-and-operational-excellence-progression-a-state-of-readiness-1%3Futm_medium%3Dsocial%26utm_source%3Dtwitter&source=tweetbutton&text=BTOES18%20Slide%20Deck%3A%20Lean%20and%20Operational%20Excellence%20Progression%3A%20%E2%80%9CA%20State%20of%20Readiness%E2%80%9D) [![Share on Email](https://static.hubspot.com/final/img/common/icons/social/email-24x24.png)](mailto:?subject=Check%20out%20https%3A%2F%2Finsights.btoes.com%2Foperational-excellence%2Flean-and-operational-excellence-progression-a-state-of-readiness-1%3Futm_medium%3Dsocial%26utm_source%3Demail%20&body=Check%20out%20https%3A%2F%2Finsights.btoes.com%2Foperational-excellence%2Flean-and-operational-excellence-progression-a-state-of-readiness-1%3Futm_medium%3Dsocial%26utm_source%3Demail) *BTOES Insights is created in partnership with BTOES the largest-scale leadership level event in the Business Transformation & Operational Excellence industry.
