Summary

Using the unique business-novel format, It's Not Luck continues the story of The Goal protagonist Alex Rogo as he navigates a new set of challenges facing the now over-diversified and under-profitable UniCo, where he has risen to the rank of division manager.

With an engaging voice and dynamic plot, Goldratt shows how to apply his Theory of Constraints (TOC) to achieve ongoing improvement in sales and marketing, inventory control, and production distribution. In addition, he introduces techniques for successful conflict resolution on both a business and a personal level.

Lacks support material

This book - a worthy follow-up to the goal - introduces the thinking tools that are part of the theory of constraints, all wrapped up in a story that demonstrates their use at multiple levels.

Unfortunately the diagrams included in the print version of this book are not made available in the audiobook. In practice this means you will struggle to follow along unless you already know the material... in which case you don't need this book.

Great follow on from The Goal.

If you have listened to the first instalment this is a must to carry on the story.

Some great ideas of how to structure thinking to tackle problems within marketing!

great follow up

Easy to listen to and follow. The lessons contained within are extremely valuable.
It is recommended that you listen to "The Goal" first.
