Summary
"In a book that challenges everything you have learned about being customer driven, innovation leader Anthony Ulwick reveals the secret weapon behind some of the most successful companies of recent years. Known as "outcome-driven" innovation, this revolutionary approach to new product and service creation transforms innovation from a nebulous art into a rigorous science from which randomness and uncertainty are eliminated." "With information based on more than 200 studies spanning more than seventy companies and twenty-five industries, Ulwick contends that when it comes to innovation, the traditional methods companies use to communicate with customers are the root cause of chronic waste and missed opportunity. In What Customers Want, Ulwick demonstrates that all popular qualitative research methods yield well-intentioned but unsuitable and woefully misleading information that serves to derail the innovation process."--BOOK JACKET.

Summary
Targets are an important part of our work life, whether we are setting them or meeting them. Target setting forms part of the budgeting process and the performance management of business units and individuals. Unfortunately the behavioral impacts of target setting on performance are not well understood, and this can lead to serious consequences such as game playing. Target setting is an under-researched area.

Summary
"This book is the first publication that combines the principles of business process management with strategic IT planning, the result being a groundbreaking work on strategic IT and process planning. While Breakthrough Strategic IT and Process Planning focuses on the real world of organizations, extensive treatment is also devoted to the politics of strategic planning. As such, a project management approach that combines process improvement, IT, and change management is employed. Other important aspects of process planning are discussed in detail: the strategic allocation of resources, short and long term implementation of the strategic plan, marketing of the plan to gain support for implementation, and development of strategic IT and process plans for business units and departments."--Jacket.

Summary
In good times and bad times, in tight labor markets or soft ones, businesses need highly skilled talent. And, in order to grow, they need to find and deploy that talent in focused ways. The old bottom-up, reactionary, "fast-fill-best-candidate" approach does not contribute to long-term business success. The far better method is to align workforce planning initiatives to corporate objectives- in a word, to strategize. This highly practical book offers a blueprint for linking business strategies to talent strategies. It starts with the premise that for staffing strategies to be effective, they must be responsive to changes both within and outside the organization. Successful Talent Strategies then buts through the clutter of often-contradictory talent management practices by offering two new concepts: Talent Flow: employing people at the right time, in the right numbers, with the right mix of skills and capabilities, under the right terms of employment; and Talent Engagement: aligning individual competencies with strategic objectives, maximizing the mutual value of the exchange between employer and employee. Author David Sears shows you how to design talent strategies with the same forethought, care and commitment that go into all business strategies. You'll learn to: Analyze the elements of a workable business strategy Conceive you talent strategies using value propositions, objectives, and strategy mapping Source, recruit, hire, and retain talent strategically, in part through crucial pre- and post-employment relationship activities Move from administrative "silos" (i.e., separate focuses on rewards, performance, and training) toward broader and more transformational strategies Measure and improve your talent strategy results with an eye toward cost savings and customer-perceived value Successful Talent Strategies also gives you practical, real-world examples of how successful companies such as The Container Store, General Electric, Lands' End, and Prudential Financial are putting these strategies into action. Not least, Successful Talent Strategies can help make a forceful difference in your organization's future by providing a common framework for business executives and human resources professionals, who often work at cross-purposes on staffing issues.

Summary
"The research team contrasted the good-to-great companies with a carefully selected set of comparison companies that failed to make the leap from good to great. What was different? Why did one set of companies become truly great performers while the other set remained only good? Over five years, the team analyzed the histories of all twenty-eight companies in the study. After sifting through mountains of data and thousands of pages of interviews, Collins and his crew discovered the key determinants of greatness -- why some companies make the leap and others don't."--Publisher website.
