Publisher's Synopsis
Essential tools and insights from the world of implementation consulting
Implementation consulting is the spear at the sharp end of the management consulting industry. It is where procrastination and report-writing go to die. It is where the sheer doing of change predominates.
There are fact-based tools and approaches employed by implementation consultants which are now well known to clients across the world who have been engaged in implementation projects. Those fact-based tools and many key insights are in this book.
FIRST FACTS
Fact-based decision-making allows effective managers and leaders to emerge at all levels.
Facts can be both easy and hard to come by, yet there is a key set of facts (information) that every business needs. We show you what those facts are, how to get them and what to use them for, so that as far as possible your decisions are grounded in reality.
THEN DOING
First facts, then decisions, then doing. Doing is the only part that ultimately matters. Otherwise, don't bother. Here we show you the tools that get things done.
Mark Stallard is an implemention consultant who has been in this role for over thirty years on two continents and ten countries. He splits his time between West Wales and Asia. This is his first book.
