Last week, I read the book called “The Project Phoenix” by
Gene Kim, Kevin Behr & George
Spafford.
Overview
It starts with Ball Palmer who is promoted as VP of IT
Operation in “Part Unlimited”. “Part Unlimited” was once a rock star in the
selling spare parts of vehicles but it currently facing tough competition from
its competitors from all the angles. It believes that “The Phoenix Project”
will help to overcome the competition challenge which is 3 years behind the
schedule.
Ball Palmer’s highest priority is to roll out the “The
Phoenix Project” on the date which business had decided which doesn’t even pass
the QA testing . Also, he need to
address the current operational challenges,
security audit findings and its remediation , handle the fragile systems
and handle dynamics of board room.
It further revels how Ball Palmer able handled all these
challenges with guidance of Eric, who is new board of director and military
veteran.
What I liked most
·
Analogy of linking the Manufacturing unit with
IT operations
·
Try to see the information in different
dimension
·
Always think out-of-box irrespective of the
current situation
Note: This book is tribute to book “The Goal”.
