Breakaway Planning: 8 Big Questions for Achieving Organizational Change

by Paul Levesque

BREAKAWAY PLANNING 8 Big Questions to Guide Organizational One of the most pervasive myths surrounding a big organizational change is that planning for it is difficult, painful, even impossible. The results of that myth are spotty planning-and dismal results. In reality, planning is easy, painless-and absolutely essential to achieve smooth, successful transformational change. And Breakaway Planning is the roadmap for making that happen. With lively language, clear instructions, and valuable exercises, the book walks readers through the entire planning process, from creating a compelling vision to making that vision a reality. At the heart of Breakaway Planning are eight important questions that, when answered, ensure the plan is airtight and ready to go. Questions How do we spread the word internally? How will we make things better for employees? How do we measure success? With Breakaway Planning a company can plan to succeed -- the most crucial step to actually achieving success.
