Dr. Tom has written a classic Common Sense Purchasing for anyone who wants to establish relationships along the entire supply chain. His straight-forward manner and stories are outstanding! I particularly enjoyed all the parts about building supplier relationships and tales of purchasing department bureaucratic culture. An excellent reference book for all levels of professionals. If I could give it six stars, I would!
I highly recommend the very accessible and hands on book Common Sense Supply Management: Tales From The Supply Chain Trenches by Dr. Tom DePaoli, to any business leaders, entrepreneurs, and negotiators seeking a practical and no nonsense guide to improving any supply management process. This book will transform your supply management system from the ordinary to the outstanding, while boosting your overall bottom line.
Sometimes
it is good to stop, reflect on the past, and remember where you came from and
perhaps change around just where you are going. This book will serve several
things. You will enjoy sharing Mr. DePaoli’s memories in Growing Up Italian in
the 50’s,
but you will also stir up the precious memories of your own. You will think,
perhaps laugh, perhaps cry, but your heart will be awakened, if just for a
moment, and perhaps you can recapture a memory that will change your tomorrow.
Very heart felt and well done.
In
his new fun and creative book Kaizen Kreativity (Oops) or Don’t Be Afraid of Looking Stupid. I’m an
Expert at It! author
Dr. Tom DePaoli offers an entertaining and creative approach to improving work
design and work processes. Dr. DePaoli uses a variety of techniques including
story-telling, imaginative training exercises and ready to go outlines of
PowerPoints on Kaizens. Dr. DePaoli uses self-deprecating humor to recall
the many times when he stumbled, when trying to implement Kaizen events. The
reader can gain much from these lessons. The book also serves as a good
desktop guide to Kaizens with a wealth of information on how to organize for
Kaizen events. This is not a dogmatic book that insists on a rigid methodology
for Kaizens. Dr. DePaoli often shows that just using a few Kaizen tools can
often result in significant gains. The book will help both the novice and the
experienced Kaizen leader.
In his guide to
organizational transformation, author Tom DePaoli simplifies the strategies
learned from his diverse career in many organizations. The book does an analogy
of the Greek tale of Jason and the Argonauts Quest for the Golden Fleece.
In this new tale, Jayson and the
Corporate Argonauts - the Quest for the
Golden Fleece
of Transformation DePaoli suggests strategies for transforming an
organization. The book follows the adventures of the Greek hero Jason and
his Argonauts and draws on the lessons learned from the crew and the perils
that they overcome. These adventures are used to recommend strategies for
modern Corporate Argonauts trying to transform their organization. The quest
for organizational transformation is a more perilous journey than the Greek
quest for the Golden Fleece. The book remains true to the myth of Jason’s
journey and the need for organizations to constantly transform. DePaoli
provides practical lessons learned from his real-life cases of transformation and
tested in harsh competitive reality.
