We hope you will join us for the fourth session of ImpactBC’s Journal Club on Tuesday December 13th 2011  from 11am-12pm (PST).  This month we will be discussing the article Understanding Variation by Thomas W. Nolan and Lloyd P.  Provost which relates to the third lens of the Theory of Profound Knowledge: Variation.
