The War on Waste Paradox: Using the War on Waste to Align Strategy with Process

By Leonard F. Bertain

Can you imagine an employee of your company coming up with an idea that has a 38 to 1 ROI? Or better yet, can you imagine all of them doing so? This book tells the story of a worker who becomes unemployed when a typical company that stymies input from employees closes its doors and he joins a more exciting environment in his new company. When he is hired, he learns that a new management approach is being instituted that will encourage his ideas. And the book lays out the steps that are needed to allow a company to achieve the phenomenal results of the typical War on Waste program. It does so as a story to give the reader a feel for what happens in a real War on Waste engagement. And this employee sees firsthand how a 38 to 1 ROI on the audited results of 23 companies that participated in the program is really possible. Over 150 companies have already seen these results. The author lays down the 6 steps of the War on Waste program and explores how ideas find their way from ideation to analysis to completion in a very rapid progression. And the story is fun to watch. But most importantly, it is very profitable for the owner.
