Proposing that corporations, like human bodies, have vital systems that must be cared for, this book outlines how to monitor these vital organs in a corporation. It provides a roadmap for leaders to plot a course from where they are now, to where they want to be. It begins by describing how leaders formulate effective organizational vision, mission and values, how to foster and nurture shared organizational vision to succeed, and how to clearly define strategic balanced business objectives. The book identifies the function of organizational departments and shows how to assess the quality level or health of these departments using both Lean and Six Sigma improvement tools.
