Agree with Eric T. and the the reviewers. One point that needs highlighting - the book provides critical insights to help CPG service providers better understand the industry that they are serving. The graphs provided me a mental model that helps me understand the different requests that customers were making and why each company needs are different despite being direct competitors. The data Lora presents helps explain many of the motivations and challenges that CPG companies have. If you are a service provider to this industry - read this book,

Zu viel Geschwätz
Ich hatte mir das Buch gekauft, weil ich etwas für Supply Chain Anfänger suchte. Speziell zum Thema Metriken. Insgesamt fand ich das Buch zu geschwätzig. Ist ja keine schlechte Idee, dies alles an schönen Fallbeispielen aufzuhängen. Nur dachte ich beim Lesen wieder und wieder: "Komm bitte zum Punkt!" Ich muss nicht wissen, wer sich Kaffee einschenkt etc. Ich hab wenig Zeit und suche kompakte Infos. ich denke, da geht es nicht nur mir so. ich hab schlicht keine Muse am Arbeitsplatz für "Stories" und deren Akteure. Als Kindle-Version ist das Buch nicht empfehlenswert, da Tabellen einfach nicht darstellbar sind auf so einem Endgerät. So kaufte ich erst digital, dann Print. Blöd. Punktabzug.

Disappointing
Disappointing. The few insights are buried into a narrative style which creates too much text and does not bring a lot of value. What should have been a 20 pages interesting article has been turned into a 360 boring pages ...

Few good points and too many old news
There is not sufficient new material; an excessive use of orbit charts when they inform very little and their insight can be clouded by the scale of the axis used; talks substantially about complexity but never touches the cern of the problem: how to measure it?
