Biography

Desmond Achebe has spent twenty years inside manufacturing and logistics businesses, mostly in the rooms where difficult calls get made. He writes about decision-making under uncertainty for people who have to do it on a Tuesday morning rather than in a case study.

He published independently because he wanted the book to exist in time for a specific programme he was running, and stayed independent because he liked controlling the revisions.

“I had a keynote date and a manuscript that was thirty per cent too long. They planned backwards from the date, told me in month two which chapters had to go, and hit it. The honesty about what would not fit was worth more than the encouragement.” Sample quote
Publishing story
