WHITE PAPERS
Check back in the near future for White Papers on Operations Management. These articles will encourage thought and inspire you to take action.

BOOKS
I am currently writing a reference book on the road blocks that impact effecting lasting change and how to overcome the typical "culture block".

Here are some of my favorite reference books that I highly recommend:

Good to Great, by Jim Collins
ISBN: 0-06-662099-6

This is an outstanding book in that it hits the target of what makes a sustainable success. It's not the people, it's the "right" people. If you're able to surround yourself with capable "can do" associates, there is no problem you can't solve or no challenge you can't overcome.

Direct From Dell, by Michael Dell
ISBN:0-88730-914-3

Michael Dell shares his ideas and approach to breaking out of the typical Supply Chain by implementing breakthrough ideas that revolutionized an industry.
