kinds of issues that all of us face today?lack of time,
money, resources, attention, know-how?and see in them the
opportunity for transformation of oneself and one's organization's
fortunes. The ideas in the book are based on the authors' extensive
work as business consultants, and are brought to life in 35
personal interviews from such varied sources as Nike, IKEA,
Unilever, the U.S. Navy, Formula One racecar engineers, public
school teachers in California, and barley farmers in South Africa.

stage into the transformation stage. It challenges us to:

and put the most pressing and valuable constraints at the heart of
our process
