Sigh. Boring, full of stories without any discernable point. The funny point are stuff like: "demand immediate results" which isn't what a consultant trying to implement Lean into an organisation wants to preach (they usually talk about "… 5 years before we begin to detect visible changes to the bottom line…").

Anyway, it can be read as an overview of lean thinking, but it is very boringly written, not very well researched (except anecdotal) and very few (if any) real practical advice.

You may miss it without any sorrow, but may need to read it to be able to say that you have read it…
