Sustainable superiority
has been the most elusive organizational achievement in business
history. Why? Perhaps the standard approaches are all wrong.
Stop trying to change people, the way they feel and behave; stop
trying to overcome the insurmountable obstacles that change
presents, and start building upon how people naturally act—and
interact. Start capturing, managing, and multiplying the
energy of your people and your organization will follow. The
Performance Power Grid will show you how.
The genius of an electrical power grid is that it automatically
channels one of our most critical resources to the exact
locations where it is most needed. A power grid allows us to
take energy for granted, to consider it limitless—but it isn’t.
Behind the scenes the grid is in constant flux, constantly
assessing, prioritizing, and shifting the focus of this limited
resource away from lesser problems to solve the greater ones.
Power within our organizations is the same. People have a
limited amount of time and energy; organizations have a limited
amount of resources; they can run out. When they do, the result
is often an organization-wide critical meltdown.
The solution is almost too logical. Organizations need their
own power grid— constantly assessing their performance, shifting
focus away from the daily fires and towards those things that
truly drive performance, constantly aiding them in the execution
of tactics that will achieve their greater strategic
objectives—all in real-time.
The Performance Power Grid offers that solution, and captures
this central idea in its genuine reform of American business
management methodology. David F. Giannetto, widely considered
one of today’s most well versed thought leaders and experienced
practitioners in the business performance management
arena, and Anthony Zecca, partner-in-charge of one the nation’s
largest consulting firms, clearly and quickly describe how an
organizational power grid is created and works to affect change.
The power grid is much more than business theory—it will work
within your own organization and a variety of diverse business
initiatives where it has already yielded compelling results.
This revolutionary, market-proven approach bridges the gap
between strategy and execution and redefines the measurement of
organizational effectiveness and efficiency. Blending a
practical methodology and today’s latest enterprise performance
management technology, the power grid paints a clear picture of
performance at all levels of the organization—from the boardroom
to the cubicle, from accounting and finance out to the edge of
the enterprise—and promises to change the very nature of
business management.
