Description
Book SynopsisObtaining a competitive advantage in today's business environment generally does not happen of its own accord. With the speed of change in technology, products to market, and customer preferences, organizations must strive to keep on the edge and be the drivers of change. Given that most businesses deal with the same buyers in defined markets who purchase similar products, gaining this competitive advantage is critical to both thriving and being leaders in their field.
To do this one must drive efficiencies throughout the entire organization while creating a significant point of difference. Yet, inefficiency continues to run rampant and can be found in the often forgotten pockets of the organization, hampering efficacy at best, leading it out the door at worst.
How Efficiency Changes the Game: Developing Lean Operations for Competitive Advantage, provides an insightful process for the executive, manager, and business owner, enabling them to discover inefficiencies where least expected, highlighting both the nature of the primary issues and then how to subsequently correct them. This book will assist in developing lean operations in areas such as leadership, marketing, strategy and planning, sales, time management, workflows, finances, and people.
Trade ReviewIt has been awhile since I have read something that I didn't want to put down. Ray has taken the fundamentals of how to be more efficient and put a great spin on it. I like the way he has included quotes from leaders and explained simply what they mean. My favourite chapter was the one on leadership and people. Ray has highlighted what is important to be efficient in simple easy to read chapters with great summaries at the end of each chapter." - Jason Gow. My Builder Friend
