While we were writing this book, we often had conversations with a wide range of friends, colleagues and clients, who often inquired about the subject of the book. As soon as we revealed the working title and basic content, the universal response was a not-so-unexpected, "Boy! Could my current (or former) company or department use this kind of systematic approach to re/organization!" Nearly everyone thinks businesses could be run better; they also agree that re/organizations are rarely done well. While we have helped facilitate several re/organizations for our many clients, our personal experience of having been re/organized several times in wrong ways prompted us to write this book on how to re/organize (finally) the right way.

Look for the Enhanced Edition:
Facilitator's Guide for Righting the Enterprise
There are two versions of this e-book. The one you are reading is a free version designed to reach as many readers as possible, especially at the executive and managerial levels. The other version contains the content of the first version, along with samples of actual business unit, core process, job and work group models. It also details how and when each model is developed. Last, it includes both several useful case studies based on actual re/orgs we have facilitated and a number of modeling aids we have developed and used over the years in facilitating enterprise engagements. Among the job aids is the highly successful "10-Minute Teach" we use during facilitation sessions to introduce the Language of Work ModelTM.
The cost of the facilitator version is $79.95 and it may be ordered online at www.performanceinternational.com/facilitator-guide-for-righting-the-enterprise.
