The volume's editors, Niels Pflaeging and Stefan Schmeing, took great care to put together a well-researched and beautifully designed little book of 160+ quotes that come straight from the great Taiichi Ohno. This book is the result of the collaborative BetaCodex Network research initiative that began in early 2023. This particular project was suggested by Stefan Schmeing.

Red42 founder Niels Pflaeging says about What would Ohno-san do?: "This is the third volume of the What would XYZ do? book series, after volumes with quotes of W. Edwards Deming and Peter Drucker that I edited in 2023. We think the new Ohno volume is a must-read, especially if you are interested in TPS, Lean, quality management, time-orientation, Beta and organizational agility. While you are reading, you will probably scratch your head a few times, and you will also likely laugh out loud more than once. But don’t believe what we say. Check out the book yourself."

Niels Pflaeging and Stefan Schmeing will discuss the book's history and background with Rijon Erickson during the forthcoming 77th episode of BetaCodex LIVE: www.youtube.com/watch?v=DkcXQ9qkAsU
