The challenge today is how to do more in less time with fewer people, and yet get better results.

Best Business Practices shows the way by simplifying the team planning and execution process! Managers easily can use this management tool to produce a more collaborative, innovative and focused team. Best Business Practices is an uncommonly practical «team planning and learning» tool.

This compact book integrates (1) an easy-to-implement, team planning and learning process, (2) clear guidelines and tools to create a self-fulfilling learning organization, and (3) a comprehensive series of ideal best practice outlines with which to develop ongoing enterprise-wide action plans.

What this means: Rather than investing in time-consuming, packaged training programs, business managers easily can implement and stimulate team planning and learning via "best practice" modules. The book's Business Knowledge Navigator offers over 300 key success factors in 35 sections, covering every fundamental management and functional discipline. It presents the most enduring leadership and management practices, and models what truly successful companies do to produce disciplined innovation, all neatly packaged into an extremely useful management tool and reference guide.

The book enables teams to avoid wasting time while capitalizing on their organization's knowledge and ingenuity more quickly and effectively. By enabling teams to collaborate, learn and execute their plans more efficiently, the organization gains much better control over its limited time and resources. The book is compact and modular in nature, thereby minimizing the time required to realize its benefits. Managers can tailor its use to their immediate needs because it is very user-friendly. It is one of the most versatile small business tools available.

The authors combined their 90 plus years of business experience with over 15 years of solid research to create this one-of-a-kind management tool in order to benefit owners, managers and team leaders in small and medium businesses, and business units in larger companies that focus on newer markets and functions. As well, management consultants, training managers, coaches and facilitators will find the book to be an excellent training aid.

This easy-to-follow guide also will be useful in business education, particularly at the graduate level. The book is not prescriptive in nature, but rather opens the mind and arouses the imagination. It demonstrates how to apply systems thinking and analysis skills to business and management situations. The benefits of seeing the big picture all in one compact book offers great value to business students.
