If your company is underperforming or needs to grow, then this is the
book for you. Based on the definitive and most trusted industry standard
for excellence in business today, Achieving Class A Business Excellence
describes the journey to Class A business excellence from the
perspective of Greg, a corporate executive facing potentially disastrous
business problems.The authors allow us to look over Greg’s shoulder as he confronts and
overcomes realistic challenges, beginning with his entry into the
company and following him through a series of tribulations to his
ultimate success. Learn with Greg as he follows Oliver Wight’s
renowned Proven Path methodology. Learn how the Proven Path guides his
strategic journey to excellence, from major initiatives through everyday
improvement programs, and supports achievement of his strategic
objectives and goals. Importantly, this realistic depiction shows you
how to achieve a comprehensive state of excellence that will enable your
company to deliver outstanding and sustainable business results.
An excellence program will unite your people, your customers, and your
suppliers through a common set of goals and allow you to improve your
results at a pace that will outperform your competition and
differentiate your company in the marketplace.
While the characters in the book are fictional, the people, the
businesses, the situations, the challenges, the conversations, the
conflicts, and the outcomes are based upon the authors’
experiences, the success of their remarkable clients, and the collective
knowledge of their colleagues in The Oliver Wight Companies.
Greg’s journey changes the way he manages, and changes the way
every employee operates within his company. Achieving Class A Business
Excellence can do the same for you and your business.
