Why read *Managing Without Problems*?

Lean transformations rarely fail due to a lack of knowledge about the tools. They fail because the cultural shift and the management system do not evolve in tandem. Gavilan Ferrer focuses on precisely this tension: how do you ensure that Lean thinking becomes embedded in the way the organization is led?

The book combines a clear model with case studies that demonstrate how the six practices were applied in real-world situations.
