Why Velocity should by your next read

If you’re tired of slow improvements, bottlenecks holding you back, and conflicting advice on how to fix your operations, Velocity by Dee Jacob, Suzan Bergland, and Jeff Cox is the book you’ve been waiting for. It’s not just another business book—it’s a wake-up call for anyone stuck in the mindset of solving problems in silos. By blending TOC, Lean, and Six Sigma, the authors reveal how to create explosive growth by targeting the root constraints that determine your business’s speed and success.

You’ll discover why focusing on local optimizations (like cutting costs everywhere or improving isolated processes) is a trap and how shifting your focus to throughput and flow can unlock hidden potential across your organization. With practical lessons from the fictional yet highly relatable story of Hi-T Composites, you’ll feel like you’re right there with them—working through the same real-world challenges and experiencing the “aha” moments as they unleash breakthrough results.

So why is this important? Because every business—whether you’re running a factory, a distribution center, or a service organization—has constraints. Velocity shows you how to find them, exploit them, and watch your productivity soar. It’s not about minor improvements—it’s about massive, sustainable gains that drive profit and long-term competitiveness.

If you’re ready to move beyond incremental improvements and create a business that’s firing on all cylinders, Velocity will show you how. What if the biggest barrier to your success isn’t your market, your resources, or even your people—but simply the way you think about improvement? Ready to break through? Pick up this book and find out how.
