How do you improve a classic?  I finally decided I had enough new ideas and case examples that I wanted to update, if not improve, the original.  I created a new model even though I liked the hierarchical model of philosophy, process, people and problem solving.  The new model is shown as puzzle pieces, as all four Ps are interrelated, and I added in the center scientific thinking.  Scientific thinking has always been central in Toyota--problem solving and decisions based on verified facts, observe without preconceptions, run the experiment, PDCA, etc.  The role of scientific thinking became more vivid in the work of Mike Rother's Toyota Kata.  I also wanted to add more of an emphasis on planning and reorganized the problem solving principles to include principle 13 on hoshin kanri (aka policy deployment) and principle 14 on bold strategy, some large leaps and many small steps.  I hope you enjoy and learn even more from this edition.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cspan\u003eFrom the Back Cover\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"a-section a-spacing-small a-padding-small\"\u003e\n\u003cspan\u003eJeff Liker's \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"a-text-italic\"\u003eThe Toyota Way\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e has long been the definitive classic text that takes you inside Toyota's culture and management system.
