Interesting ideas, poor exposition

The ideas of the book are interesting and potentially useful to organizations looking to manage any organization.

However, I found the book to be lacking details on a lot of concepts, and difficult to follow in several places. Often after introducing a new process, the author would skip the "how" and instead quickly conclude with the same few assertions such as "the MIND method will ensure increased value" or "the method will help everyone" and "everyone likes it".

I often expected more details only to instead find the author jumping from one partial idea to another.

Good Book, simple methodology. May be the process works better if you can get help from the author's company. But the process is rather simple. Most companies use it unknowingly. May be we need to start doing certain things with INTENSION.
