His close study of perhaps the most powerful and robust Many people look for that one missing link that others don't see. Others have seen it, but few have articulated it as well as Johnson. If you resort to curtailing travel and eliminating donuts to try and make budget, or think lean is a material control system, or simply feel that their current patterns of management will never get you where you need to go, you should read this book. Through the attention and cultivation of the work and relationships of the business and not just the measurement results you will find many disconnects in how you are serving your customers. The work of the organization carries all of the information you need with it, and while output measures are important for reporting reasons, they are not helping you to design a system that connects workers to customers. This can help. I predict this book and not Relevance Lost will be considered Johnson greatest contribution. Enjoy! Tom Johnson’s book could be just as impactful as Relevance Lost.
