The Change Agent's Guide to Radical Improvement

4.2/5 ( ratings)

What separates excellent organizations from the truly ordinary? What allows some organizations to rapidly change and continually reinvent themselves while others have trouble making even modest improvements? The fundamental ingredient is the presence of change agents. Change agents are individuals who have the knowledge, skills, and tools to help organizations create radical improvement. They achieve results through their keen ability to facilitate groups of people through well-defined processes to develop, organize, and sell new ideas. They are the invisible hands that turn vision into action. The Change Agent's Guide to Radical Improvement is a comprehensive how-to book, packed with all of the information and tools necessary to make any improvement project a rousing success. Its unique methods integrate the best practices in organizational development, team building, voice of the customer, reengineering, problem solving, creativity, innovation, and project management. The systematic change agent model introduced in this book will help you: * Pick the right improvement projects to work on, by diagnosing the real issues effecting the organization.
* Organize the project so that it has the best chance to succeed, by uncovering the project's success criteria, securing management support, and building the right team.
