Dan Jones is a management thought leader and advisor on applying lean, process thinking to every type of business across the world. 
He is the founding Chairman of the Lean Enterprise Academy www.leanuk.org in the UK, dedicated to pushing forward the frontiers of lean thinking and helping others with its implementation. He is also the co-author of the original books on Lean, The Machine That Changed the World: The Story of Lean Production and Lean Thinking: Banish Waste and Create Wealth in Your Corporation.
His new book, The Lean Strategy: Using Lean to Create Competitive Advantage, Unleash Innovation, and Deliver Sustainable Growth is outstanding. I enjoyed reading it and putting it to use. In typical Dan Jones fashion, he makes an interview relatively simple while delivering some great insight.
