Intelligence is the abil ity to adapt to change.

Stephen Hawking

Why a book with a focus on management cybernetics, lean management, and digitalisation?

Because cybernetics, as a mixture of the natural sciences and the humanities, teaches a holistic and universal understanding of the control and regulation of machines, living organisms, and social systems. Exactly the right thing for people who dare to think outside the box. Because lean management which emerged in postwar Japan, a country that had to relearn industrial production in the face of huge unemployment, a lack of space, and being restricted by being an archipelago of many islands brought a commonsense approach to industry, moving companies away from sluggish or unhealthy practices and conflict behaviour towards an attitude of trust and cooperation that focused on the product and the customer once more.

Because digitalisation is a great opportunity and the founders of cybernetics foresaw the technical possibilities of control and regulation regarding feedback and automation.
