About this book
Guide to create unlimited value in any organization, supported by rich, granular company stories
Drawing from real stories of how companies relentlessly improved quality, delivery, service, and cost structure, Creating Value: Empowering People for Sustainable Success that Benefits Employees, Customers, and Owners offers simple, powerful ways to think and act to unlock the nascent value of any enterprise. This book shares a dynamic business system that, when practiced authentically, taps into a more focused and productive organization to deliver superior value to customers in a way that improves consistently over time. Author John Rizzo draws from 30 years of leading successful business transformations in a wide range of industries. His approach, which creates sustainable success by empowering people to improve processes continuously, features the following principles:
- Apply a Holistic Business System: Develop a complete framework that integrates strategy deployment, value stream analysis, workshops, and management systems
- Prioritize People Development: Employ techniques that tap the wisdom of those who do the work—the true source of sustainable improvement
- Learning as the Foundation: Discover how hands-on improvement creates deeper understanding and represents the most fundamental type of continuous improvement
- Produce Quality at the Source: Build excellence into processes rather than inspecting for it afterward
- Leverage the Compounding Power of Improvement: Realize the power of small improvements accumulating into breakthrough performance
Creating Value reveals how pursuing excellence leads to outstanding results that endure over years. It is an essential resource for business leaders to dramatically boost employee participation and agency, while steadily increasing profits and boosting enterprise value leading to widely shared creation of value.
