Our History
The Readiness Institute was founded by internationally renowned thought leader on operational excellence; international entrepreneur; prolific writer and a sought-after strategist, consultant, and speaker Joseph Paris.
Paris originally founded the XONITEK Group of Companies in 1985 – an international management and operations consultancy helping companies located around the globe become high-performance organizations.
Soon after, emerged the Operational Excellence Society: A grass-roots organization that emerged from a large LinkedIn group also led by Paris. Also described as a “think tank” that creates and aggregates knowledge and know-how for professionals and companies who have the desire to achieve peek-performance across the entire value-chain of their enterprise – the society was inspired, in part, by the Lean value known as gemba. The society supports regional collegiate collaboration, the exchange of best-practices, shared experiences, and face-to-face mind-share.
