The book includes self-evaluation and development tools, group exercises, and discussion questions.

Participants leave with an action plan to enhance their ability to hold these characteristics.
Values-based and awareness raising, Discovering Operational Discipline introduces the synergistic relationships between business excellence, operational excellence and operational discipline for an organization. Participants discover the advantages that are present in an organization practicing a high level of operational discipline.
