Acknowlegement

Below you will find links to pages of books I found to be either the most practical, inspirational or thought provoking. 

Everyone is influenced by great thinkers, I hope I can share with you the sources of my inspiration and learning, while at the same time acknowledge the significant contribution of these authors and individuals who have provided encouragement and mentoring over the years.

Systems thinking  Lean Thinking Transformational Leadership  

Change Management  Strategy Management  Analysis Methods and Tools

The Influential book section contains recommended reading. I am often asked to recommend books on the subject of business improvement, this can be difficult because the reader is usually looking to satisfy a particular need, either leadership studies, general practical advice and guidance, new breakthrough ideas or simply some new techniques and analysis tools. I have devised a scale that will hopefully help people choose the book they need. The book ratings are personal and show the type of information they contain. 

Ratings indicate how much coverage there is in a particular area, one is Low coverage while five is High.  ŒŽ  

Light, Medium or Heavy Reading indicates the amount of study needed to gain understanding.
