Do you think your business needs to do something, but no one agrees on what that is? Do you ever wonder why everyone hits their targets but the business is losing money?

Author and consultant Steven Ouellette takes you on an journey to the past, present and future of business with a step-by-step process to create your own business management system. He uses a detailed case study and interesting stories from Galileo's life to frame a logical process to set a long-term vision for a company, understand how it creates value, and turn these into metrics of success for the enterprise.

Using a simple process, each level of management creates metrics that align with the previous level's measures of success, cascading these metrics throughout the company. This results in everyone having metrics that align with the organization's objectives, possibly for the first time.

From there, metrics are used as a springboard for two powerful, but often poorly implemented processes needed by every company: continuous and breakthrough improvement.

This book is a must-read for anyone wanting an efficient, effective and proven method for building a management system to increase their company's performance.
