As our calendar expires once again, many of us will be inspired to reflect on our journeys and to look forward to new adventures.  “The Third Degree” is not immune to this drive; this installment serves that very purpose.  It will not be mere nostalgia, however.
     It is in the spirit of continuous improvement that previous installments will be revisited, referencing material published since their release.  Resources that were simply missed in the initial telling will also be shared.  This is a mostly chronological journey to simplify navigating the archive to review the original articles.

     The advent of a new year inspires a great deal of reflection and anticipation.  Many of us will evaluate our personal and professional progress over the past 12 months and set new goals for the upcoming year.  The same is true for “The Third Degree;” this installment will look back at some posts to provide additional resources related to the topics discussed.  It will also look ahead to preview topics to be covered in future posts.

     Welcome to The Third Degree, the JayWink Solutions blog, where we interrogate the status quo to separate fact from dogma that discourages creativity and promotes mediocrity.  We will share alternative approaches to common situations, providing options that lead to better outcomes for business leaders in our community.
     Here, you will find discussions of a variety of topics related to business, operations, and consulting.  Subjects may include manufacturing concerns, process improvement, quality, service delivery, maintenance, project management, education and training, management and leadership, consulting services, or other topics that may be of interest to our visitors.
     To make this page as useful and informative as possible, we invite readers to comment on posts to further the discussion.  We also encourage members of the JayWink community to submit questions or ideas for future blog posts, or even submit a post of your own!
     Feel free to contact us if you’d like to submit a post to the blog, or if we can otherwise be of service to you.  Thanks for visiting; we hope you enjoy The Third Degree.
