New Releases by James Champy

"Jim Champy has seven rules for leadership, honed from his many years of experience. They are: One--see the world as it truly is; two--share good ideas with all; three--make technology everyone's job; four--manage change as a campaign; five--gain control by giving it up; six--relish change; and seven--make your values everyone's business"--Resource description page.

"When processes don't mesh smoothly, companies can find themselves at odds with one another. Suppliers don't deliver the promised value, manufacturers turn out shoddy products, and customers depart. The new reengineering calls for redesigning your processes to fit with those of your partners"--Resource description page.

"Jim Champy argues that there are eight mistakes that every reengineer must guard against: reengineering across organizational boundaries before reengineering internal process; moving too slowly or too quickly; reengineering across organizational boundaries with executive commitment, but not involvement; focusing on units that aren't open to change; reengineering all a company's processes at once; reengineering only the front-end of a business; believing that e-business is about the e; and underestimating customer adoption time"--Resource description page.

Dos años después de la publicación de Reingeniería de la Empresa, miles de empresas, grandes y pequeñas, han hecho suya la misión de la reingeniería, difundiendo un proceso que ha transformado, literalmente, la vida de millones de trabajadores. Sin embargo, juntamente con la expansión de la reingeniería por todo el mundo económico, parece que está emergiendo un patrón que se ha convertido en familiar. Con excesiva frecuencia, la reingeniería se detiene en los niveles más altos de las empresas y las áreas directivas permanecen al margen o resistiéndose a los procesos de la reingeniería. Este libro suministra las guías que los directivos necesitan para liderar, organizar, inspirar, distribuir, medir y recompensar el nuevo tipo de trabajo que crea la reingeniería. INDICE: ¿La dirección? Por qué aplicar la reingeniería a la dirección. La ordalía de la dirección. Viviendo las preguntas. En resumen: ¿Para qué existe la empresa''. ¿Cómo decidimos?: casos concretos. ¿Qué clase de cultura deseamos''. ¿Qué deseamos?: casos concretos. ¿Cómo vamos a hacer nuestro trabajo''. Pensando en los procesos de la dirección: casos concretos. ¿Con qué tipo de personas deseamos trabajar''. ¿Cómo elegimos?: casos concretos. La segunda revolución de la dirección.

"More than two years after the publication of Reengineering the Corporation, thousands of companies large and small have undertaken the mission of reengineering, sparking a transformation in literally millions of working lives. Yet as the reengineering revolution spreads throughout the world economy, a now-familiar pattern seems to have emerged. Too often, reengineering stops at the upper echelons of corporations, and managerial levels remain unchanged or resistant to the reengineering process. As a consequence, the task of reengineering is stopped in its tracks, and the anticipated benefits are never achieved." "After working with dozens of companies in the throes of reengineering, Jim Champy is uniquely qualified to write the book that brings management fully into the reengineering revolution. In Reengineering Management, Champy provides the guidelines managers need to lead, organize, inspire, deploy, measure, and reward the new work reengineering creates." "Today''s management practices hearken back to the early 1900s, when corporations changed from owner leadership to professional managers who began to run companies like controllable, predictable machines. Now that corporations have taken pains to reengineer their operational processes, the management processes must change in accordance. In Reengineering Management, Champy reveals that these processes must focus on mobilizing, enabling, defining, measuring, and communicating in order to achieve a business culture that enables a continuous process of reengineering - in order, in short, to achieve success." "For the hundreds of thousands of managers who have read Reengineering the Corporation and the millions who have been touched by the reengineering revolution, Reengineering Management is the book that can deliver the reality behind the promise."--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc.
