Books: Operational Excellence

Here is a list of publications focusing on Operational Excellence by Schaffer Consulting consultants.

"Make Acquisitions and Mergers Succeed", by Suzanne C. Francis, Chapter 8, Rapid Results! How 100-Day Projects Build the Capacity for Large-Scale Change (Jossey-Bass; 2005).

Rapid Results! shows how to make large-scale changes succeed by using 100-day results-producing projects to develop this vital implementation capability. The book shows you how to build rapid results into major organizational change such as reorganization, acquisition integration, and international development.

Harvard Business Review on Mergers and Acquisitions showcases six Review articles and one case study on major aspects of M&A. From valuation to integration, this collection helps business leaders think through how to avoid the pitfalls that make this strategic move one of the most difficult to do successfully. The book contains two articles by Ron Ashkenas and Suzanne Francis of Schaffer Consulting.
