Publisher's Synopsis
No one, from the CEO down to the lowest level worker, intentionally sets out to create waste or fail at their assigned work tasks. It's human nature to strive for and attain success in things we set out to do. Unfortunately many of us unwittingly pursue the path of least resistance--even when we're pursuing our goals. Shortcuts multiply over time as we attempt to circumvent less desirable work tasks, and in doing so, we contribute to errors, defects, waste and risk that not only draws on your bottom-line, but jeopardizes productivity, customer satisfaction and loyalty, and ultimately the future of your organization
Getting Business Fit takes a cut-to-the-chase approach in identifying, quantifying and setting out to eliminate the non-value work and waste in your organization. The fact that we are amidst a great recession, there is no better time than now to eliminate the waste in your organization and pursue business fitness. All you need is your sincerity to act, organizational commitment from your leadership team, the empowerment of your workforce, and Gary's five simple steps to getting business fit.
