Discover new strategies for maximizing performance and profit across your organization through the concept of operational excellence.

Companies must learn that you cannot fire and budget-slice your way to sustainable growth. Our world is too complex, too interconnected, and technology too quick-evolving for organizations to achieve dramatic results simply by eliminating waste and increasing standardization. Maybe these methods worked before--occasionally--but not anymore.

Redefining Operational Excellence boldly claims that the old ways of hunkering down and refocusing the business strategies are no longer viable. Operational excellence is about a mindset, and a company culture that questions current models and focuses not on slashing and subtracting but on adding value, making improvements, and increasing speed.

This groundbreaking guide covers it all--processes, people, and operations--and shares specific strategies to:

• Drive innovation and collaboration
• Engage customers
• Attract and retain top people
• Align strategy and execution
• Optimize speed

Operational excellence is about finding money and performance boosts in hidden areas businesses don't normally look. With this indispensable, all-encompassing resource, you'll discover where!
