About this episode
This episode explores the complexities of organizational improvement through the metaphor of baking bread and its application to healthcare changes.
In this episode of Butterfly Arose, I challenge you to appreciate the world of complexity we uncover when we actively try to improve and organization. Using the example of baking bread I show how complicated it can really get, and apply that seemingly simple example to changes being made in healthcare.
