Can Speed Cause Defeat?
A Conversation with Three Business Leaders on Toyota's Quality
Lapses
Speed creates business success. However, when
not properly executed, speed can actually derail organizations. Recently,
Toyota has become a business example of "speed gone awry."
In a four-part podcast series we explore this
issue with three business leaders:
- Jun
Kurihara, senior fellow at Harvard Kennedy
School, as well as a Research Director of the Canon Institute for
Global Studies
- Dave
Eaton,
cofounder of Aperian Global, a cross-cultural training and
consulting firm
- Dr.
Edwin Boswell, President & CEO of The Forum

Speed: Mobilize People. Accelerate Execution
Part
1: Was Toyota defeated by speed itself?
Part
2: Toyota: Speed, Learning and Kaizen
