Description: "Throughout public- and private-sector organizations today, executives are seeking approaches that will allow them to make significant organizational change at a pace that keeps them a step ahead of changes in the business environment. Fast Forward: Organizational Change in 100 Days provides a novel, practical, and proven framework for rapid implementation of organizational change. Part I of the book develops a powerful dynamic model of rapid change, provides guidance on how a company can build speed and momentum within the organization and inspire their employees, and explains how a company can slash the time it takes to make major decisions and deploy resources to support them. Part II builds on the framework established in part I, examining the different types of change initiatives that are key to the organization's growth: the development of a new strategic plan, the integration of a new acquisition, launching a new venture, establishing a new IT platform, leading an organizational turnaround, and implementing deep cultural change. It does this in the authors' style, and the book is filled with real-world examples and exercises that have been proven in the authors' executive MBA teaching and in their research and consulting work."--BOOK JACKET.
