How one question started our journey of continuous improvement

Getting Home is a business book that leverages a "feel good" story to show how systems change can occur when outsider thinking and the Toyota Production System are married together to reduce the human toll of delayed and unpredictable recovery after disaster.

The book shows how SBP’s utilization of the Toyota Production System created a culture that not only values surfacing problems, but requires it.

Getting Home presents a series of scenarios that demonstrate SBP's ability to identify and solve problems at every level.
