That’s exactly what the GP wrote: The Goal is the spiritual ancestor of The Phoenix Project.

Well now I can't tell if it was edited or if I just misread and decided to correct my own mistake. I'll leave it be so I remember next time, thanks.

That's indeed how I wrote it, but I could have worded it better. Very much agree that the insights in The Goal go far beyond the scope of The Phoenix Project.

I totally read it as successor as well. Interesting how the brain fills in what we expect to see :)
