Classical value stream mapping follows the work and finds the waste. It is a good instrument and it is systematically blind to two things: the flow of information that decides what work is done at all, and the flow of attention and morale that determines whether it is done well. Both routinely dominate the material flow.
This volume integrates the three into one map, and includes the practical mechanics — how to gather it, how to draw it, and how to keep the exercise from becoming a consulting artefact nobody uses.

Elsewhere in the Canon
How this book was made. Many volumes in this house were written with machine assistance. That is the author's declared working method, not a thing found out later, and the practice is itself a published paper with a DOI — Externalized Cognition: A Developmental Theory of Human–AI Co-Creation. The argument, the judgement and the name on the cover are the author's.
