In these challenging times, this can be a survival question – for both an individual and his/her organization. Managerial approaches that worked previously may not be adequate for providing future organizational success.
To not only get through these difficult times but also flourish, organizations need to do things differently, and better, down the road. But what management approach is the best to pursue, and what could someone do to stimulate change?
This book answers this question.
In this book, Jorge and his golfing MBA buddies discover a no-nonsense next-generation business management system that minimizes the risk of organizations’ doing bad things. As well, the described methodology provides direction for establishments to move toward the achievement of the 3Rs of business; that is, everyone doing the Right things and doing them Right at the Right time.
This novel describes an enhanced organizational governance system called Integrated Enterprise Excellence (IEE). The IEE system offers much flexibility, including a means for effectively managing an organization remotely. Described is how Jorge implemented IEE in his Harris Hospital, and how his golfing MBA friends applied and also benefited from the methodology in their manufacturing and transactional organizations.
"This is not a boring technical book, but a novel about common problems managers face today. "
Forrest Breyfogle compares and contrasts various process improvement systems. He mixes Golf into the story, where friends, and managers of different companies use different traditional approaches like Six Sigma, Lean, Balanced Scorecards, and even common MBA practices. Comparisons to the Integrated Enterprise Excellence (IEE) management system approach is explored. This book will challenge what you have been taught and present new ideas and approaches to solving common problems
IEE provides a comprehensive 9-step system that CEOs, Presidents, General Managers, executives, managers, leaders, practitioners, and others can use to resolve elephant-in-the-room management issues such as:
- Business goals not being met.
- Scorecards leading to harmful, if not destructive, behaviors.
- Persistent day-to-day firefighting problems.
- Business strategies that are very generic and/or difficult to translate to organizational work environments.
- Lean events and other improvement projects that can consume many resources but often do not offer a quantifiable benefit to the business as a whole.
- Lean Six Sigma process improvement deployments that have improvement projects, which are either not completed in a timely fashion or make substantial financial claims that are questionable.

4 年Thanks Steven for spreading the word about my new book. I am looking forward to thoughts about the power and benefits of the book described free software that provides predictive performance metrics (www.SmarterSolutions.com/eprs-metrics-software ). This software can give more insight to the output of a process and what one might do to make a response better.
