Book

“All of today’s advances in data, business intelligence and analytics won’t find a place at the decision-making table until it finds a language that connects with the everyday decision maker. Steve’s book provides that language. It’s the language of optimization.”

“If your company has a high volume of repetitive transactions with numerous factors influencing different options, you would do well to read this book.”

“The Optimization Edge provides an intelligent, user-friendly framework to help business people think through their business model and make the adjustments that really matter most.”

“Readers will appreciate Sashihara’s provision of a ‘Final Note’ section at the end of each chapter that can help to facilitate, indeed expedite frequent review of key points.” “This book is part instruction manual on how to improve your business and part visionary guide to the future. I highly recommend it.”

“[Steve Sashihara] shows managers how to present an optimization program to all levels of their companies, starting with decision-making managers.”

“I was impressed when Sashihara debunked one of the most common statements you encounter in management. It is the statement, ‘Faster, cheaper, better — pick any two of the three.’ As he points out, many optimization strategies are capable of doing all three simultaneously and to think otherwise is to limit your potential improvements.”
