Deborah J. Nightingale and Jayakanth Srinivasan
Beyond the Lean Revolution
Achieving Successful and Sustainable Enterprise Transformation
AMACOM, 2011
¿De qué se trata?
The “lean paradigm” has been popular since the 1990s. Unfortunately, it solves only half the problem.
Recommendation
Lean is a proven system for eliminating waste and cutting costs in production and management. Unfortunately, say MIT professor Deborah J. Nightingale and research scientist Jayakanth Srinivasan, the current “lean paradigm” is only a halfway measure for improving your enterprise in a meaningful way. They discuss their “beyond lean” program – already in use at 75 organizations – as a way to surpass expense reduction and transform an entire enterprise. The authors offer solid information, though it is sometimes repetitive and tangled in maddeningly complex, convoluted sentences. Nevertheless, these brilliant technical professionals do their best to explain abstruse points about an arcane subject. getAbstract recommends this sophisticated, substantive treatise to senior leaders looking to update their approach to lean strategies and institute meaningful, cost-saving change.
