| Abstract | "Our companies are changing. What used to be trivial is now important, and vice versa. Globalization, technology, sustainability, and values each help define a company's triple bottom line. Ignoring changes in these areas leads to diminishing returns-and eventual failure. Our companies are struggling with ways to become more competitive, to reduce costs, and to chase unobtanium in their never-ending pursuit to do more with less. But this focus on efficiency cannot come at the expense of innovation, agility, and moving fast. Legacy methods placed too much emphasis on a singular approach, such as focusing only on six sigma and have missed the broader change in today's business world. Innovation and agility are now often more valued than efficiency and technical precision by the fastest growing companies. Pursuing Excellence provides the foundation within a company's structure to embrace and value efficiency, innovation, and agility. This book draws from the author's 25 years of experience leading people in operational environments to provide a holistic solution to achieve excellence. The author incorporates best practices from values-based leadership, strategic thinking, systems-thinking, continuous improvement, problem-solving, and organizational change management"-- Provided by publisher. |
