New Releases by James Champy

"""Reengineering Health Care" gets to the core of transforming our current system by advocating the widespread use of IT, eliminating inefficient practices, and keeping the system focused on a healthy individual and not on a broken process.""--Newt Gingrich, Founder of the Center for Health Transformation, and former Speaker of the U.S. House of Representatives ""This book is a prescription for streamlining health care. Using the techniques that have successfully transformed business into customer-focused and efficient organizations, the authors provide a step-by-step approach to improving health care processes, guiding health care into the next generation of Lean delivery systems.""--Dr. John Halamka, Chief Information Officer, Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center ""In health care, we tend to inundate our people with information, rather than enabling them to have insights. This concise guide will resonate with both senior and front-line managers who know they''re engaged in unproductive work. They will see that reengineering is not overly difficult and can enable them to improve patient care and efficiency.""--Trevor Fetter, President and CEO, Tenet Health Corporation, and Trustee, Federation of American Hospitals ""It isn''t reform that will fix our ailing health care system, its reengineering. Champy and Greenspun highlight organizations that have transformed, and reinvented, themselves by reengineering care delivery-they''ve lowered costs, improved care quality and patient safety, and increased the satisfaction of those giving and receiving care. Every clinician, hospital executive, and politician should read this book.""--Bill Crounse, M.D., Senior Director, Worldwide Health, Microsoft Corporation ""Implement health care technology, and you have better health care tools; reengineer with a focus on technology, process, and people, and you have a better health care system. This straightforward guide shows how to transform health care to maximize quality, safety, convenience, and impact the cost of delivery. No one can read this book and not feel a profound call to action.""--H. Stephen Lieber, CAE, President & CEO, HIMSS In their legendary book, "Reengineering the Corporation", Jim Champy and Michael Hammer introduced businesspeople to the enormous power of a revolutionary methodology called "reengineering". Using reengineering, businesses around the world have systematically retooled their processes--achieving dramatic cost savings, greater customer satisfaction, and more value. Now, Jim Champy and Dr. Harry Greenspun show how to apply the proven reengineering methodology in health care: throughout physician practices, hospitals, and even entire health systems. You''ll meet innovative and visionary leaders who''ve been successfully reengineering organizations across the entire delivery spectrum and learn powerful lessons for improving quality, reducing costs, and expanding access. This book doesn''t just demonstrate the immense potential of health care reengineering to revolutionize health care delivery: "it offers a clear roadmap for realizing that potential in your own organization""." Deliver Better Care to More People, at Lower Cost How reengineering can lead to more efficient, safer delivery--and sharply reduced costs How to focus on prevention and wellness, as well as chronic disease and hospital care How to earn the trust, contributions, and passion of skeptical physicians and health care professionals How to harness technology to create more seamless, accessible, valued, and sustainable health care systems--and avoid technology''s pitfalls How Zeev Neuwirth transformed the Lenox Hill Hospital ER and the 700-doctor Harvard Vanguard Medical Associates practice How Tom Knight is revolutionizing patient safety at Methodist Hospital System, one of America''s largest private, nonprofit medical complexes How to start today in your own organization!

"Jim Champy has seven rules for leadership, honed from his many years of experience. They are: One--see the world as it truly is; two--share good ideas with all; three--make technology everyone''s job; four--manage change as a campaign; five--gain control by giving it up; six--relish change; and seven--make your values everyone''s business"--Resource description page.

"Why health care must be systematically reengineered--and how to build a system that''s both financially stable and delivers far better care!

"The new reengineering tests your powers of analysis, imagination, and execution. Once understood, though, it can be used to address the enormous inefficiencies and redundancies in the work between organizations, thereby creating opportunities for unparalleled efficiencies and advantages. It hinges on process and proposition"--Resource description page.

"From the time the first business opened its doors centuries ago, people have been trying to define the essence of a company. Some have claimed that a business is its bottom line. Others have argued that a company is its customers, or its marketing power, or its products, or its people. Today, what best defines a business is its processes--all the things a company does to create and sell its goods and services. And the new reengineering is focused directly on those processes"--Resource description page.

"Jim Champy argues that there are eight mistakes that every reengineer must guard against: reengineering across organizational boundaries before reengineering internal process; moving too slowly or too quickly; reengineering across organizational boundaries with executive commitment, but not involvement; focusing on units that aren''t open to change; reengineering all a company''s processes at once; reengineering only the front-end of a business; believing that e-business is about the e; and underestimating customer adoption time"--Resource description page.

"When processes don''t mesh smoothly, companies can find themselves at odds with one another. Suppliers don''t deliver the promised value, manufacturers turn out shoddy products, and customers depart. The new reengineering calls for redesigning your processes to fit with those of your partners"--Resource description page.

The most successful business book of the last decade, Reengineering the Corporation is the pioneering work on the most important topic in business today: achieving dramatic performance improvements. This book leads readers through the radical redesign of a company''s processes, organization, and culture to achieve a quantum leap in performance. Michael Hammer and James Champy have updated and revised their milestone work for the New Economy they helped to create -- promising to help corporations save hundreds of millions of dollars more, raise their customer satisfaction still higher, and grow ever more nimble in the years to come.

The co-author of the monumental bestseller Reengineering the Corporation continues the reengineering revolution with another national bestseller that has already sold more than 165,000 copies in hardcover Reengineering Management is a brilliant, practical and much needed book on the most powerful management idea of the decade. Reengineering—changing the traditional and outdated organization, processes and culture of a company—is corporate America''s greatest challenge today. In Reengineering Management, Champy examines the far-reaching changes managers must make for themselves and their companies to succeed in an era of unprecedented competition. Through his extensive consulting and research work, he shows how reengineering succeeds only when managers reinvent their own jobs and managerial styles. Otherwise, the ultra-efficient and effective reengineered processes for acquiring and serving customers, filling orders, bringing new concepts to market and other key business activities eventually fall apart. Champy illustrates this new management agenda through first-hand experiences of managers of reengineered operations at Federal Express, Wisconsin Electric, CIGNA Health Care, Hewlett-Packard, AT&T Universal Card Services and other companies. Champy shows how they are mastering the managerial challenges of reengineering, and as a result are making their organizations exciting and competitive. As more and more organizations reengineer, the experiences of these managers will become an insiders'' guide to managerial life in the company of the future. Reengineering Management picks up where Reengineering the Corporation left off—by exploring the managerial implications of the reengineered workplace. As reengineering becomes critical to all organizations, Reengineering Management will be the road map for managerial success in the future. It is, indeed, the manifesto for the next managerial revolution.

From the author of "Reengineering the Corporation" comes this concise, fast-paced book about consistently outsmarting the competition in an environment where even the best strategies rarely prevail.

For modern companies, large and small, it''s now or never to build business on the platform of information technology. Companies that e-engineer are ready for business in the 21st century. Companies that don''t, James Champy argues, are history. He starts by making the challenging statement that modern management practices aren''t keeping pace with technological advances. Without solid strategy, technology can actually harm a company''s progress, not help it. Champy then underlines the four foundations underlying the e-engineering process: propositions, processes, participation and preparedness. The book includes case studies and interviews with many leaders from a wide range of companies.

作者提出了一个独特的“企图心曲线”,其理论超离于传统心理学之外,来源于活生生的生活经验,讲述了企图心是所有成就之本,要有远见、不怕逆境、掌握时机等内容。

Ce que la division du travail a fait, le Reengineering doit le défaire. Car nos organisations, fondées sur la spécialisation et la répétitivité du travail d''une part, la hiérarchie et le contrôle d''autre part, ne répondent plus aux exigences de notre environnement. Michael Hammer et James Champy proposent donc de réinventer l''entreprise autour de ses processus opérationnels, pour réaliser des gains de performance majeurs : telle est l''essence du Reengineering. En reconfigurant transversalement l''organisation, le Reengineering permet en effet de réaliser des gains spectaculaires sur les coûts, les délais, le service et la qualité, et développe ainsi un nouvel avantage concurrentiel pour l''entreprise. Pour parvenir à ces résultats, il ne suffit pas de raccommoder l''existant. Il faut au contraire revoir fondamentalement la nature du travail, remettre en question les règles établies et en définitive tous les aspects de l''organisation. Comme la plupart des révolutions, le Reengineering a des racines profondes et lointaines. Depuis des années, bien des entreprises ont, en tâtonnant, expérimenté ce cheminement. A partir de leurs propres observations de consultants, Hammer et Champy ont développé et formalisé une démarche puissante de changement. Best-seller mondial et désormais classique de la littérature managériale, cet ouvrage présente les principes, les acteurs et les méthodes du Reengineering.

In business—or in any endeavor—ambition is the spirit of onward and upward, of striving for something worth achieving. It is the driving force behind all great experiments and risk-takings, triumphs and failures. For authors Jim Champy and Nitin Nohria, it is also the instinctive quality that makes the difference between mere management and leadership. Drawing from original interviews with contemporary figures from many walks of life—including business, politics, science, and the arts—Champy and Nohria take readers on a journey of discovery, pinpointing the defining moments, or turning points, in the evolution of leaders, as they wrestle with critical decisions and ethical dilemmas. In the process, they reveal some underlying truths about leadership, such as the ability to hold onto a dream and make it come true, know when it''s time to change the business or see it die, and recognize when it''s time to hand over the reins. Representing fundamentally new thinking from two of today''s greatest business minds, The Arc of Ambition is certain to challenge and enlighten aspiring leaders everywhere.
