Accelerating Performance

Beschreibung

"Warm and fuzzy" works well for internet memes-not for management advice. Yet too much of what's written about improving performance in companies treats "the soft stuff" in a soft way. No longer. Accelerating Performance moves organizational behavior out of the realm of speculation and into the realm of science. Drawing on a combination of empirical research and decades of experience advising global companies, this book shows you how to reduce time to value by building and changing momentum more quickly than your rivals. The META framework (short for Mobilize, Execute, and Transform with Agility) offers advice for leading change at four levels: strategy, the organization, teams, and individuals. In addition to step-by-step guidance toward assessment, planning, and implementation, the book offers: * An inside look at the practices of 23 "superaccelerators," a global (and perhaps unexpected) mix of companies that have demonstrated a consistent ability to accelerate performance. * A study of the factors that create drag-and drive-at the level of strategy, organizations, teams, and individuals. * An exploration of the 39 differentiating actions that organizations can combine as dictated by their strategy and context into a winning recipe. * A diagnostic tool for leaders, teams, and organizations to assess their starting place, and to highlight the specific areas neededto improve the ability to accelerate strategy and performance. Sustained organizational improvement requires constant vigilance and careful planning. Remember, the jungle always grows back. Accelerating Performance gives leaders a step-by-step framework for taking action and transforming their organizations, teams, and even themselves-both for today and for the future.
Transform your organization into a dynamic catalyst for success Accelerating Performance is not just another "warm and fuzzy" change management book--it's a practical, comprehensive, data-driven action plan for picking up the pace and achieving more. Co-written by one of the authors of Beyond Performance, this book draws on a combination of empirical research and decades of experience advising global companies to show you how to reduce time to value by building and changing momentum more quickly than your competitors. The META framework (short for Mobilize, Execute, and Transform with Agility) offers advice for leading change at four levels: strategy, the organization, teams, and individuals. In addition to step-by-step guidance toward assessment, planning, and implementation, the book offers: * A diagnostic tool for leaders, teams, and organizations to assess their starting place, and highlight the specific areas needed to improve the ability to accelerate performance. * A detailed look at the factors proven to create drag--and drive--at each of the four levels: strategy, organizations, teams, and individuals. * An exploration of the 39 differentiating actions that organizations can combine as dictated by their strategy and context into a winning recipe. * A closer look at the practices of 23 "superaccelerators," a global (and perhaps unexpected) mix of companies that have demonstrated a consistent ability to accelerate performance. A single taste of success is all it takes to spark change, but the hard work of following through requires constant vigilance--and a plan. Learn how to capture that drive, bottle it, and use it to sustain motivation, inspiration, and achievement. Deliver at the highest level, and then turn around and do even better next time. Accelerating Performance gives leaders a step-by-step framework for taking action and transforming their organizations, teams, and even themselves--starting today.
