Bøker i Systems Innovation Book Series-serien

In an age when most business plans extend only to the next quarterly reporting period, the authors propose an audaciously longer view of future planning. The authors of this book take a cue from Kongo Gumi, a Japanese construction company that managed to thrive as a family-owned business for nearly 1500 years. The book explains and demonstrates the meaning of CISR® - continual improvement for social responsibility - and illustrates the rigorous six-step SOFAIR methodology with many examples. Based on decades of experience, the book explains how existing organizational continual improvement efforts can be adapted to also focus on sustainability.

This book identifies principles developed to help companies and businesses succeed with projects. It simplifies the use of these methodologies and processes so the everyday person can apply these approaches to be successful with projects. The book guides you to define project scope and to complete projects with quality, on time, and on budget. It explains project concepts in easy to understand terms, provides examples, and offers you the opportunity to develop your own project plan.
