review 1: Definitely worth reading, and depending on the reader, could be fantastic.It's all about building a culture and process for continuous improvement. I expect the theory is better than the reality, and I'm skeptical a random person could read this and do much, but it makes clear the value of focusing on long-term, continuous improvement rather than any one technique or system. Just as applicable to any other endeavor as to building cars.
review 2: How do you make an organisation able to continuously improve and adapt? And more importantly: How do you enable the organisation to learn and then teach this ability to all people in the organisation - forever changing its culture.

While the focus of examples is on manufacturing the book has implications for management of all types of organisations. The chapter on how learning and teaching using the coaching kata is very fascinating and gives good advice on how to grow and cultivate a learning organisation. Perhaps the most insightful book on lean management to date. Impressive! less
