5.0 out of 5 stars this is the world class journey!, 29 Jan 1999
By A Customer
This is probably the finest book of the world class journey ever written, not in theory, but the things we have to do to keep on the journey. Prof Kobayashi brings to light the 20 different skills in a broad perspective that any organization can use effectively to make the journey possible. To truly understand the subtle secrets you will eventually read this book 20 times. You will be so inspired by the graphics you will go to Japan to find the deep rooted meanings of the content, as the processes behind them (2o keys) are a culture in their own right! Enjoy your personal world class journey by starting with yourself!!!

4.0 out of 5 stars Roadmap to Success, 23 April 2004
By B. Mcguinn "BigBern" (U.K.) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This book is full of wisdom and common sense.
It describes clearly andconcisely each of the twenty strands which, when taken together, will giveany kind of business
a framework within which to plan and monitor itscontinuous improvement.
Be aware, though, that this is very much a bookwhich describes what the twenty keys are, rather than a prescription forhow to go about implementing the programme.
