Brick by Brick aims not to be just another business podcast.  I have created it to support New Zealand small and medium businesses where we take on real challenges facing business owners.  I have always found is that talking through challenges facing the people who are directly involved, improvements, ideas are often found.  

Having a forum that allows real people to talk about real issues as it relates to productivity, growth, quality so that there is a sustainable solution, something real that they can implement straight away.  They could be from middle management, leadership - anyone.  Kind of the agony aunt, but for business.Having an informal discussion - using operational excellence and lean thinking to explore how businesses can become more profitable, more efficient, better businesses achieving goals faster. The conversations is based on a real problem and involves the person who presented it.  If not, I will bring in 1-2 other specialists to put their spin on the issue.
