We’d like to offer you an early look at Making Work Visible: Exposing Time Theft to Optimize Work & Flow by Dominica DeGrandis.
In the book’s foreword, Tonianne DeMaria, coauthor of the Shingo Research and Publication Award-winning book Personal Kanban: Mapping Work / Navigating Life, writes, “The visualization and WIP-limiting strategies Dominica offers demystify our cognitive load; normalize expectations among team members; promote focus; situate work in its context, surfacing problems (and allowing for solutions to be made) in real time; and provide a clear path to completion with quality. Elegantly explained and deeply-insightful, the utility of the suggestions contained within cannot be overstated.”
Making Work Visible is that rare book that both inspires and gives everyday, useful tips and instructions. In it, the real crime of the century is revealed—time theft, one of the most costly factors impacting enterprises in their day-to-day operations.
Dominica’s deep experience coaching companies is fully on display as she walks the reader through a series of exercises to find waste and eliminate it—or, in her terms, to catch those sneaky “time thieves” in the act. —Mark Schwartz, author of The Art of Business Value and A Seat at the Table
