Jim Whitehurst, Red Hat CEO and author of The Open Organization, recently told Business Insider that Eli Goldratt’s business novel The Goal is his “favorite business book ever.” The former chief operating officer of Delta, who now manages the largest open source software company in the world, noted that Goldratt’s Theory of Constraints remains relevant in today’s technology world.
“The book is really about lean manufacturing, but Goldratt’s concepts are being applied in today’s tech sectors, too. You can see them in DevOps and its holistic approach to accelerating the development of software products and services.”
