◆ Product Name: The Textbook of Business Process Reform: All the Know-How from a Professional with a 90% Success Rate
Generously revealing the know-how behind a 90% success rate in business process reform projects. While there are several good books written about corporate transformation and business process reform, most are translated works. Consequently, they do not adequately address the most troubling issues faced when actually promoting business process reform within Japanese companies, such as:* How to get people on your side* What to investigate in business surveys and to what extent* How to confront resistance groups
These are the practical concerns that practitioners actually struggle with. This book is a textbook for ordinary people who want to initiate business process reform within a Japanese company. It includes abundant corporate case studies using real names, voices of those involved, and actual materials used in the field, all explained visually.
★ From Author Sakamaki:Normally, consulting firms do not disclose the methodologies or tools they use in projects. This is because those are their "bread and butter." However, we truly believe that:* Projects will not succeed unless everything is open and everyone works together as one.* Even if our secrets are revealed, if it reduces the number of unfortunate projects in the world, then that is fine!
With this mindset, we decided to document our startup know-how. To be honest, it took a full two and a half years from the start of writing until the manuscript was finished... There were many implicit tips that had not been codified, and I struggled immensely to summarize them, but because of that, I believe it has become an excellent, practical textbook.
★ From Author Shirakawa:A project plan is trash if it is not executed. Long ago, I participated in creating a large project plan to transform an entire company. What was created then was, in a word, seven document files worth of combustible trash. While the quality as a planning document was high, the plan was never put into action. No matter how well-written a document is, it has no value to the company if it is not executed.
This job was shocking to me. The work we accomplished by pouring in so much intellect and enthusiasm ultimately served no purpose. Since then, it has become my life's work to consider how to create project plans that are properly executed and lead projects to success—how to launch a project so that it succeeds. In this book, we have written down everything we currently know about this subject. I hope this book serves as a good guide for all of you.
