Beyond the Lean Revolution. Achieving successful and sustainable enterprise transformation.  Deborah J. Nightingale & Jayakanth Srinivasan. 2011. ISBN 9780814417096.  The third in a quartet of lean books I am reviewing.  Much  of the good stuff covered  in The Toyota Way to Lean Leadership by Levitt & Conviss is replicated here. And that makes sense. The tools and templates that these MIT folks provide would be very useful to those needing to do the base analysis of new lean initiatives and or failed ones. Like other fine Amacom books this is well researched and useful.  The writing style is a bit more challenging than others , but the content may have some impact on that.
