Read this book back in the day when 6 sigma was the flavour of the month, which it's actually not. The cultural approach to balance the technical concepts of the continuous improvement methodology was mind-blowing and, usually, helped a lot more to accomplish the project goals. This is the soft side, or the A in the equation E is a function of Q times A if you will.
Mind, it is still relevant.
