GBMP NEXT: A Pre-Shingo Gathering to Explore What’s Next in Continuous Improvement

📅 April 28 | 📍 Bryce Room, Provo Marriott | 🕔 5:00 PM – 8:00 PM (Drop in Anytime!)

Before the Shingo Conference begins, join GBMP for GBMP NEXT—an evening of bold conversation, fresh ideas, and meaningful connection with some of the brightest minds in Continuous Improvement.

This isn’t your typical pre-conference social.

At GBMP NEXT, we’re creating a space for CI professionals, thought leaders, and practitioners to connect informally and explore the future of Lean, leadership, and organizational excellence.

Joining the conversation:

  • Billy Taylor – Founder of LinkedXL and former Goodyear executive, recognized for driving operational excellence through frontline leadership.

  • Scott Gauvin – CEO of Macresco and co-creator of the Respect for People Roadmap, redefining how organizations align purpose with performance.

  • Bruce Hamilton - the iconic “Toast Guy,” known for making Lean thinking practical, relatable, and human-centered.

Alongside these thought leaders, you’ll meet CI consultants, business leaders, and peers from across industries—all gathering to share insights and ignite new thinking.


Why Attend?

  • Kick off Shingo Week with meaningful, real-world conversations

  • Explore emerging trends and challenges in the CI landscape

  • Connect with like-minded professionals in a relaxed, no-pitch atmosphere
