Product Description

As all organizations emerge from the 2008 meltdown and slow recovery, too many leaders remain stuck in short-term, reactionary survival mode. As a consequence, too many organizations have placed a freeze on improvement when they need it the most. Today over 80 % of Lean Six Sigma deployments are failing, but the need and opportunities for improvement are higher than any time in history. This cloudDVD provides practical guidance for accelerating strategic improvement initiatives in any organization, and particularly in industries that have been insulated from improvement in the past. The author also provides a proven roadmap for breakthrough improvement in the new economy that is based on a combined strategy of back-to-basics, innovation, technology, and adaptive improvement. Public and private corporations, hospitals, financial services, airline and transportation, and federal, state, and local governments all have a huge opportunity to achieve strategic and operating benefits beyond what was thought to be possible.
