SUMMARY OR ABSTRACT
Text of Note
"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.
