The Goal: A Process of Ongoing Improvement
Alex Rago is a management executive trying desperately to improve his performance. His languishing career is placed on the brink when he is given just 90 days to turn around the fortunes of his factory. He has an even tighter deadline to save his marriage.
Rago's fortunes take a lucky turn when he bumps into an old friend at an airport - Jonah. The elusive friend guides Rago cryptically through a lengthy but rewarding journey of process improvement, leaving the reader tantilisingly intruiged at every step.
This is a fast paced fictional novel which will leave the reader sofa-clenchingly entertained as well as asking some thought-provoking questions.
