This publication shows how to make large-scale changes
succeed by using 100-day results-producing projects to develop vital
implementation capability.
Written by leaders in the field of change
management, Rapid Results! describes an approach that has been field-tested by
real organizations of every size and industry to improve performance and
accelerate the pace of change.
Rapid results projects produce results quickly, introduce
new work patterns, and enable participants to learn a variety of lessons about
managing change. Step by step, the book describes how the use of rapid-cycle,
or 100-day, projects will multiply your organization’s power to succeed at large-scale
change.
Schaffer and Ashkenas specifically outline the concept
behind 100-day projects and show you how to:
- Set up the architecture to implement rapid
results projects
- Improve operational performance and also attain
hard results in the soft areas of management
- Build rapid results into major organizational
change such as reorganization, acquisition integration, and international
development
- Use rapid results to drive leadership
development and culture change
