Summary

How can a small medium business build a data analytical platform that is affordable and capable for data science? Business Intelligence and advanced data analytic need not be out with the resources of small medium businesses. Too often Data Science technology is considered to be only advantages and accessible to fortune 500 organizations but that isn't strictly true. In this book we will show you how to lead your company along the path to data maturity from spreadsheets to utilizing advanced prescriptive and predictive algorithms to get the most from your business. We will demonstrate how by building an affordable and practical data science platform you can benefit from the diverse data available and engage more effectively with your customers. This book will provide the guidance and the information that you will require in building a data analytical culture using an affordable infrastructure that will enable your business to perform the type of reporting, analysis and forecasting techniques used by much larger organizations. After all, Business Intelligence gleaned through analyzing operational and market data provides companies with tremendous competitive advantage but it doesn't necessarily need big budgets and highly trained staff. Large organizations do not operate on whims or gut feelings, that may be the spark of inspiration but decisions are made on hard facts that are tested and verified through data analysis. By using your unique business knowledge along with some technical guidance you can benefit from the operational insights and the business intelligence that advanced data analysis will bring to the company. But data maturity is not something that can be acquired overnight you will need a robust strategical, tactical and operational approach to data management and analysis. This book aims to provide the business and technical strategies, as well as the tactical implementation plans that a small to medium business will require to overcome the many financial and operational obstacles along the path to becoming a technically advanced and business intelligent organization.

    The formula for Lean success! Toyota veterans reveal how to build continuous improvement into your company’s DNA
    
     
    Ever since Toyota introduced the revolutionary Toyota Production System (TPS), businesses have tried to replicate Toyota’s success. Few have succeeded over the long term. What businesses have failed to realize is that TPS calls for a fundamentally different way of thinking.
    
     
    Now, at long last, here is a straightforward guide that make sense of the thinking culture behind Toyota’s phenomenal success. In its pages, authors Tracey and Ernie Richardson speak from the heart as Toyota employees who worked in the Kentucky factory when the company was first introducing its people-first approach in the U.S., and went on in the ensuing decades to teach Lean thinking around the world.
    
     
    In The Toyota Engagement Equation, the authors take you through Toyota’s own journey of discovery. This deep dive into the company’s game-changing work practices reveals how employees were developed, how they were taught to spot and define problems through standardization, how they were coached to solve them, and how they were encouraged to improve their thinking as they moved forward.
    
     
    And you’ll see how Toyota developed this simple but profoundly effective approach into an overall management system-and how you can achieve amazing results in your company through the same system.
    
     
    In the world of Lean design and implementation handbooks, The Toyota Engagement Equation stands out as a fresh, unique, and authoritative guide to building your business into the Toyota of your industry. As the authors see it, TPS has now evolved to the “Thinking People System!”

    An investigative history of Depression Era power brokers and labor wars in the construction of the Pulaski Skyway across the New Jersey Meadowlands.   In the 1930s, as America’s love affair with the automobile began, cars and trucks leaving the nation’s largest city were dumped out of the Holland Tunnel onto local roads winding through New Jersey swampland. The Pulaski Skyway, America’s first “superhighway,” would change all that by connecting the hub of New York City to the rest of the country. But the corrupt and violent path to its completion would change much more for Jersey City’s residents and labor unions.   Jersey City mayor Frank Hague—dictator of the Hudson County political machine and a national political player—was a prime mover behind the ambitious transit project. Hague’s nemesis in this undertaking was union boss Teddy Brandle. Construction of the last three miles of the Pulaski Skyway, then simply known as Route 25, marked an epic battle between big labor and big politics, culminating in a murder and the creation of a motorway so flawed it soon became known as “Death Avenue”—appropriately featured in the opening sequence of HBO’s hit series The Sopranos.   A book in the tradition of Robert Caro’s The Power Broker and Henry Petroski’s Engineers of Dreams, The Last Three Miles brings to vivid life a riveting and bloodstained chapter in the heroic age of public works.   “A revealing look into how local politics can affect the design and construction of our national infrastructure, sometimes with disastrous results. Hart uses his considerable narrative talent to tell an engaging human story about what might seem otherwise to be but an enormous black steel structure.” —Henry Petroski, author of Engineers of Dreams and Success Through Failure
