Von der hinteren Coverseite

"In The Lean Turnaround Action Guide Art Byrne offers a priceless gift to the reader: The exact process he has followed in turning around dozens of companies over 30 years. Some readers can simply paint by the numbers. Others may need to modify or even improve Art's process. But no organization's leaders reading this book can claim they have failed to act for lack of knowing what needs to be done and how to do it."
-- Jim Womack, co-author of Lean Thinking and The Machine that Changed the World

"Reading The Lean Turnaround Action Guide reminds me what a tremendous teacher, coach and friend Art was for me at The Wiremold Company. Art is a superb leader with an unrivaled set of lean turnaround success stories to his credit. I am awed by the way Art writes about the detailed tactical and cultural change elements of lean transformation. While the lean journey of UGH Corporation may be fictional, the lessons in this lean treasure couldn’t be more realistic.”
