Thanks for the informative post Sean. FYI It looks like some of the links to LI profiles are broken – they start with your domain name.
Thanks, I have fixed them, I believe it was an artifact of how I did the cut and paste of the link from LinkedIn profiles
Hey guys,
I was one of the mentors at the Lean conference, let me know if I can help in anyway!
