Ward also carries the implications of his theories into specific practical recommendations and employs systems thinking in all aspects of thought and investigation. More details... |

Other features Ward brings up:
- He distills what might be termed “cornerstones” from the practices of lean product developers, most notably Toyota and its partners, which differ remarkably from conventional practice.
- Uniquely melds observations of effective teamwork from his military background, engineering fundamentals from his education and personal experience, design methodology from his research, and theories about management, cognition, and learning from his understanding of history and interactions with clients.
Ward turned his exhaustive research and intimate understanding of the product and process development approach at Toyota into a practical guide for both veterans of lean and traditional new product development systems.
