"I would recommend this book to any supply chain director, and especially to those who are struggling with the implementation of sales and operations planning and/or integrated business planning, and the selling of these concepts to the board and commercial colleagues."
()

"You can find tons of literature on supply chain management but rarely a book that goes so deeply and systematically into the most important topic in that field, which is organizational development and change management. People make supply chains work, not systems, algorithms or methodologies. That needs supply chain leadership, which is what this book is for. Outstanding."
