Execution - getting things done -made easy and effective with simple, proven project management tools. Following on the huge success of the author's previous works, The One-Page Project Manager for Execution gives business leaders the means they seek for greater success. This helpful guide cuts through red tape and procedural hurdles to provide tools, templates, and teachings for rapid implementation by both the novice and seasoned practitioner. These methods communicate and align company strategy, as well as drive engagement and problem solving. Offers the latest refinement on Toyota management principles, A3 reports, Lean Processes, and strategy deployment. Easy to read, easy to implement, and a strong bridge to more advanced learning Invaluable as both a classroom text and an on-the-job resource, The One-Page Project Manager for Execution is a key guide for executives, business leaders, industrial and manufacturing engineers, project management professionals, academics, and students. Drive Strategy With Simplicity-On A Single Sheet Of Paper! The One-Page Project Manager set a new standard as an understandable and easy-to-apply organizational tool, allowing managers to summarize complex projects on a single information-rich page. This book, third in the OPPM series, describes how to combine the OPPM with the Toyota A3 report to create an enhanced, integrated management tool. With a refreshingly clear style, the authors walk users through implementing the OPPM/A3 using a variety of real-world case studies, as well as their own experience at O.C. Tanner Company. Rich with tools, templates, and teaching, the emphasis throughout remains on maintaining simplicity across the organization-communicating the right information to the right people at the right time to get the right things done. Praise for The One-Page Project Manager "Executives want the answers to two questions: Where are we today? Where will we end up? Do you really believe this cannot be accomplished on a single sheet of paper? The One-Page Project Manager series of books is encouraging you to do just that. Making this part of your Project Management methodology will simplify and improve your project communication, especially for busy executives." -Harold D. Kerzner, PhD, Senior Executive Director, International Institute for Learning, Inc. Clark Campbell fills a void and bridges a communication gap that has long existed between company executives and project or program managers. OPPM successfully links corporate strategy to those in the trenches managing projects." -Dr. Denis R. Petersen, PMP President and CEO, Milestone Management Consultants, LLC "Clark Campbell and Mike Collins present how OPPM works to drive strategy deployment. With OPPM in our lean tool kit, we have tapped into the creativity of our people to pump up productivity, cut cycle times, reduce inventories, and sustain world-class quality." -Harold Simons, Executive Vice President, Supply Chain, O.C.
