The Breakthrough Strategy – Leverage Success & Drive Organizational Change
In this critical resource, the founder of Schaffer Consulting explores why even the most expensive improvement programs often yield minimal results
This book describes why American companies have invested billions of dollars in improvement programs, many of which have yielded only minimal results.
The key premise is that most programs reinforce existing barriers to performance improvement and emphasize activity over results. The Breakthrough Strategy shows how modest “breakthrough” successes can be used to drive major organizational changes, yield dramatic performance improvement, and build internal change capabilities.
Also available in Korean and Chinese.
