- John Hunter is my go-to guy and gateway to all things process improvement. He’s a systems thinker and a pioneer in using the net to share information that improves processes. If you’re familiar with process improvement methodologies, you’ll probably find something in this list to spark an idea. If you’re not familiar with process improvement, this is a good primer.
