"In the race to be more competitive, today's leaders know that the "right answer" is right only if the organization can make it work. Without implementation capacity at every level - from the grass roots on up - large-scale changes and innovations have little chance for success." "Rapid Results! shows how to make large-scale changes succeed by using 100-day results-producing projects to develop this vital implementation capability. 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. Robert H. Schaffer and Ronald N. Ashkenas specifically outline the concept behind 100-day projects."--Jacket.
