"The Goal is the #1 business book of all time and the graphic adaptation makes this timeless classic and its powerful ideas even more accessible. If you only read one business book, it should be this one." - Verne Harnish, Founder Entrepreneurs' Organization (EO) and author of Scaling Up (Rockefeller Habits 2.0)

"The Goal has never been more relevantfor organizations that rely on technology. The original is a must-read, and now the graphic novel is another path to understanding the Theory of Constraints. I'll be adding this to my recommendations list!" - Dr. Nicole Forsgen, CEO and Chief Scientist at DevOps Research and Assessment (DORA)
"Prior to reading The Goal, I worked for three governors and ran large organizations, budgets, and enterprises across almost every area of government. I tested seemingly endless improvement methodologies with little success. However, once I began applying the principles taught in The Goal, I began to see enormous jumps in my organization's performance - not just once - but time after time." Kris Cox, Executive Director, Utah Governor's Office of Management and Budget
"An illustrated and abbreviated version of Dr. Goldratt's revolutionary thought process may seem counterintuitive, but the visual representations bring the basic concepts of Theory of Constraints to life." - Gary Adams, Director, Delta Connection TechOps at Delta Airlines
