Download or read book What Top performing Healthcare Organizations Know written by Greg Butler and published by Ache Management Series. This book was released on 2009 with total page 148 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: How can you fully harness the power of change to achieve superior performance in your organization? To answer that question, authors Greg Butler and Chip Caldwell researched over 220 healthcare organizations to determine what differentiates high performers from organizations that fail to achieve lasting operational success. Their research revealed that success lies in the ability of leaders to organize the change process. This major finding is the foundation for the performance improvement model described in this book. This model combines four change management strategies used by high-performing organizations: Organizing for accountability Linking operating strategy to quality initiatives Creating an environment for change Deploying advanced quality methods such as Lean and Six Sigma Each of the four strategies is illustrated with specific examples and success stories. The book focuses on the crucial role leaders should play in the performance improvement process and provides proven methods for increasing the effectiveness of quality improvement methods. "Driving meaningful change in healthcare is a complicated business, but the pathways to success tend to take a simple form. We witnessed this book's techniques save hundreds of millions of dollars in healthcare costs....Our experience continues to demonstrate that the structure of transformational initiatives is the most critical variable in achieving meaningful progress and predicting success."--From the Afterword

Book excerpt: The secret of achieving and sustaining organizational excellence revealed In an ever-changing world where only a third of excellent organizations stay that way over the long term, and where even fewer are able to implement successful change programs, leaders are in need of big ideas and new tools to thrive. In Beyond Performance, McKinsey & Company's Scott Keller and Colin Price give you everything you need to build an organization that can execute in the short run and has the vitality to prosper over the long term. Drawing on the most exhaustive research effort of its kind on organizational effectiveness and change management, Keller and Price put hard science behind their big idea: that the health of an organization is equally as important as its performance. In the book's foreword, management guru Gary Hamel refers to this notion as "a new manifesto for thinking about organizations." The authors illustrate why copying management best practices from other companies is more dangerous than helpful Clearly explains how to determine the mutually reinforcing combination of management practices that best fits your organization's context Provides practical tools to achieve superior levels of performance and health through a staged change process: aspire, assess, architect, act, and advance. Among these are new techniques for dealing with those aspects of human behavior that are seemingly irrational (and therefore confound even the smartest leaders), yet entirely predictable Ultimately, building a healthy organization is an intangible asset that competitors copy at their peril and that enables you to skillfully adapt to and shape your environment faster than others—giving you the ultimate competitive advantage.

Download or read book Measuring and Managing Performance in Organizations written by Robert Austin and published by Addison-Wesley. This book was released on 2013-07-15 with total page 286 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is the digital version of the printed book (Copyright © 1996). Based on an award-winning doctoral thesis at Carnegie Mellon University, Measuring and Managing Performance in Organizations presents a captivating analysis of the perils of performance measurement systems. In the book’s foreword, Peopleware authors Tom DeMarco and Timothy Lister rave, “We believe this is a book that needs to be on the desk of just about anyone who manages anything.” Because people often react with unanticipated sophistication when they are being measured, measurement-based management systems can become dysfunctional, interfering with achievement of intended results. Fortunately, as the author shows, measurement dysfunction follows a pattern that can be identified and avoided. The author’s findings are bolstered by interviews with eight recognized experts in the use of measurement to manage computer software development: David N. Card, of Software Productivity Solutions; Tom DeMarco, of the Atlantic Systems Guild; Capers Jones, of Software Productivity Research; John Musa, of AT&T Bell Laboratories; Daniel J. Paulish, of Siemens Corporate Research; Lawrence H. Putnam, of Quantitative Software Management; E. O. Tilford, Sr., of Fissure; plus the anonymous Expert X. A practical model for analyzing measurement projects solidifies the text–don’t start without it!
