The Path Leveraging Operations In a Complex and Chaotic World -Shridhar Lolla Co-created by 118 Practitioners

SETTING A TREND

The publishing industry is going through a lot of introspection and changes.

But unexpected among them was this book from Dr. Sridhar Lolla, a management

Consultant, who focuses on operational excellence and the theory of constraints (TOC) .

He has been involved in one of the world’s biggest implementations of TOC.

‘The path ‘, set in a pharma company, shows the way to positively impact

Business results by improving management of complex and chaotic dynamics

faced by manufacturing professionals day in and day out, while there are, many

books in the market that address this issue in different ways, almost all are

located in the engineering segment by choosing the Pharma industry and

addressing not only the complexities of operations, but also the issue

of the availability and pricing of drugs, Dr .Lolla successfully intergrates

several view points to present a solution.

While this in itself was an exciting proposition for productivity and

Quality Publishing ( PQP), I was amazed at the way this book was

Written, or rather, created .One hundred and eighteen professionals

came together to co-create this book to what it is today .what we

got was the third version, after two versions had been vetted by

Professionals across different segments not only with domain expertise,

but also for design and flow of content. This co-creation was managed on

an online plat form.

It is indeed an honour for PQP to be part of this journey and publish

The first such co-created book in India .we expect that this will trigger

A trend for more such books, validated by peers and affected professionals,

Being written in the near future. This methodology of writing draws on varied

Experiences and therefore is more holistic and comprehensive.

The path has been written and published like a project, following the

Principles out lined in the book. We expect you, the reader, will benefit

And find answers to your pain points. As always, we eagerly look forward

To your feedback and in puts.

Apart from Sridhar Lolla who has written a wonderful book and created

And managed the trend setting co- creation plat form, I must mention the

Significant work done by Meera who edited the book and the team at

DSM Soft who have helped design the layout of this book.

Your comments and suggestions about the contents of this book and the ‘

Co-creation platform are welcome. – K Srinivasa Murthy
