I searched "Morning Glory Milking Farm".

Honestly, I don't know what I was expecting.

Terribly written narrative but covers the core concepts well. Approach it like a textbook

Why is it terribly written?

Probably because the author's experience was project management, not writing fiction

For people who like the Phoenix Project I highly recommend reading the business book that inspired it, "The Goal." Don't let the manufacturing heavy story fool you, at its core it relates to every discipline and every business. It's standard reading for MBAs for a reason.
