Kanban: Successful Evolutionary Change for Your Technology Business

“Kanban” in Japanese means “signal board”. In production, such a board is used to visualize the growing pace, which allows you to produce more products at lower cost. A vivid example is Toyota’s approach, thanks to which the principle of “on time” with minimal costs has been effectively implemented for many years. David Anderson gives an expanded set of ideas (visualization of the process and work rules, typing of work items, service classes, cadences, metrics and graphs for managerial accounting and analysis) that determine the kanban method.

The Goal: A Process of Ongoing Improvement

"Purpose" is a scientific and educational book. Now these two concepts are used so often that their original meaning was lost in the fog of excessive servility and mystery. Like most serious scientists, I think that science has nothing to do with either the secrets of nature or the immutable truths. This is simply a method by which we operate with a certain minimal set of assumptions that can, through direct logical constructions, substantiate the existence of many natural phenomena. The physical law of conservation of energy is by no means true. This is just an assumption, effectively explaining a huge number of natural phenomena. It is impossible to prove the universal applicability of this assumption, no matter how many concrete examples of its validity you give. But this assumption can be refuted by a single fact that it would not be able to explain. But even such a refutation does not deprive the assumption of justice. It testifies to the need for another, more general assumption. This is how the law of conservation of energy was replaced by the more general Einstein postulate of conservation of energy and mass. Einstein's law is not true to the same extent as its predecessor.

The Lean Startup: How Constant Innovation Creates Radially Successful Businesses

We are used to thinking that processes and management are something boring and dull, and startups are dynamic and fun, where there is no place for any rules. However, just the opposite is true: the creation of a startup should be subject to a clear methodology that has strictly defined steps. The main idea of the “economical start-up” method developed by Eric Rees is to quickly test new product ideas on real consumers and constantly adjust the business model in order to start large-scale investments only when the idea is confirmed by facts. Whoever has already read this book speaks of it like this: if you are an entrepreneur, urgently drop everything, sit down and read! And do not be confused by the words “business from scratch” in the title. Entrepreneurs are in spirit in different companies, and any business, both small and large, needs to be able to constantly analyze the business model and make timely adjustments to it.

Drive: The Surprising Truth About What Motivates Us

Many managers are sure that the best way to motivate an employee to high results is a monetary reward, bonuses for the result or other “gingerbread”. In the end, people work for money, and the practice of “do A and I will give you B” has become almost a classic of management. It turns out that not everything is so simple. In his provocative bestseller, Daniel Pink convincingly argues that in the information age, a motivation system based only on rewards for achieving results has become not only useless, but in some cases directly harms both employees and the company. But how then to motivate staff to achieve goals and defeat competitors? It is necessary to focus on the natural desire of each person for excellence, skill and independence and to hire only those people who have a strong internal motivation. This is not as difficult as it may seem, but in the book you will find simple and understandable tools for building a new motivation system. The book will be interesting to heads of organizations of any level, as well as HR specialists.
