Enterprise Excellence: A Modern Approach to Organizational Change and Leadership using Blended Quality Management prepares students to utilize strategic thinking and Lean Six Sigma (LSS) practices and techniques to improve operations and reduce inefficiencies. Using Six Sigma's DMAIC-define, measure, analyze, improve, control-process, students apply concepts and tools by leading and participating in an actual LSS project. The book is organized so that it walks students, practitioners, and leaders through each step of the LSS DMAIC process through interactive, hands-on modules. In the opening module, students select a project and describe the process, opportunity, and goal (Define). Additional chapters guide students through collecting data and defining metrics (Measure); identifying potential solutions (Analyze); testing theories, piloting solutions, and rolling out solutions (Improve); and monitoring results to assess and maintain the overall gain (Control). The text includes a project guide and a collection of case studies to help students connect critical concepts with practical application. Enterprise Excellence helps students build their understanding of process improvement, practice running a team project, achieve meaningful results, and apply their new skills and tools in real-world projects. The book is an exemplary resource for courses and programs in business and organizational change/management.

How the world's most influential companies are building business strategies that tackle the biggest global challenges. Today's business landscape is changing in fundamental ways: Natural resources are growing ever more scarce and expensive. Technology and changing consumer expectations are making transparency a fact of life. The rise of emerging economies creates vast market opportunities for companies--and better living standards for hundreds of millions. In Sustainable Excellence, Aron Cramer and Zachary Karabell tell the stories of the companies who are transforming themselves by responding to these paradigm shifts and in the process shaping the future. From their work with these Global 1000 companies, Cramer and Karabell know firsthand how business can successfully grapple with big-picture issues like resource scarcity, supply chain complexities, and the diverse expectations of government and the public. In Sustainable Excellence, they tell the story of how Coca-Cola and Greenpeace collaborated on a refrigerator that fights climate change. They show how companies like Best Buy and Nike are transforming the very products they sell to deliver more value to consumers with less waste. They recount how GE and Google created an innovative partnership that is developing "smart grids" that radically reduce energy use. And they show how business leaders like Starbucks' founder and CEO Howard Schultz put sustainable excellence at the center of his company's business strategy. Through these and other fascinating stories, Sustainable Excellence makes the case for a different way of doing business--one that will define both business success and economic vitality in the 21st century.
