Jim Champy is coauthor of the business classic
Reengineering the Corporation: A Manifesto for Business Revolution, which is, without a doubt, one of
The 100 Best Business Books of All Time (we love
manifestos). He also wrote the follow-ups
Reengineering Management and
X-Engineering the Corporation, and just released a new book,
Outsmart!, in March.
Outsmart!, as Champy puts it in the introduction, is:
...The first in a planned series comprising four compact volumes on the key topics of strategy, marketing, leadership, and operations. Taken together, the books aim to deliver the most current intelligence available on how to succeed in today's brave new world of business. An ambitious project? Yes. But what I see a host of companies accomplishing today has me both excited and encouraged.
With the current state of the economy, we can all use a little more encouragement. Maybe Jim Champy can help.
