This guide to achieving sustainable world-class performance provides guiding principles to senior executives and best practices to managers that, if fully embraced and implemented correctly, will transform most any firm into an organization capable of dominating its industry throughout the 21st Century. While there are many best practices that firms should consider in their efforts to continuously improve, there are seven best practices that are indispensable in this era of rapid change, increasing customer demands, and intense global competition. These seven best practices address the people, processes, and technology elements of which every enterprise is comprised and without them firmly in place, organizations will eventually flounder. When driven by top management, instituting 15 business principles based on these seven best practices will transform an organization from mediocrity to a powerhouse referred to as The Best Practices Enterprise. These proven principles and practices are supported by nearly 50 real examples and excerpts from actual projects to demonstrate how multiple organizations have institutionalized these best practices.
