Here's the latest cartoon collaboration with a skilled artist and medical assistant, Carrie Schurman (see past cartoons). You can find her on Twitter as @carrieschurman. The idea for this cartoon came from Maggie Millard, the director of marketing at KaiNexus.

I played host for a recent webinar that we're hosting on Monday, May 7, featuring a presentation by my friend Chip Ponsford, III, DVM (pictured at left), a veterinarian who has become quite a strong Lean advocate in recent years.  We've taught Lean together at a Veterinary Medicine conference (as I blogged about here) and I've been collaborating with Chip on his LeanVets.com blog.

As a senior advisor to KaiNexus and somebody who has been a member of the team since 2011, it's been amazing to see how...
