Simplifying Success: AI, Culture, and Process Improvement with Vitezslav Vanek

Can a simple mindset of ‘a little better every day’ be the real key to business excellence?Welcome to the “Business Excellence for Managers” podcast!

In today’s episode, I’m thrilled to speak with Vitezslav Vanek, the founder and CEO of value companion, a business consulting company. I first met Vitja in 2008 at BNP Paribas in Germany, where he worked as an expert in Process Management, and I was serving as Chief Quality Officer, rolling out the Lean Six Sigma program at this large international corporation of 200,000 employees.

It was a privilege to have such a motivated and talented individual like Vitja as part of the Lean Six Sigma program in Nuremberg, Germany. From the beginning, I could tell he was destined for an outstanding career—and he certainly provedme right.

After earning his Lean Six Sigma Certification under my guidance, Vitja went on to work with the Institute for Lean Six Sigma (IFSS) in Vienna. There, he served in roles ranging from Principal Consultant to Country Director for Germany South, Executive Board Member, and ultimately, Associate Management Consultant.

Nearly 13 years later, he founded his own company, value companion, where he continues to make a significant impact.

I am incredibly proud to welcome Vitja to the podcast today to discuss the top questions leaders often ask about business excellence. Time stamps:

03:00 Introduction and Background.
