Cover of Debra Jacobs & Garrett Sheridan: Shockproof (PDF)
Reinvent your company to deliver sustained profitable growth.

As performance lags in the midst of economic cycles, many
companies turn to magic bullets such as EVA, Kaizen, or Six Sigma.
Unfortunately, these initiatives-along with how they’re
implemented-often deliver only short-term positive impact or cause
more pain than the preexisting condition.

Returning to competitive health and profitability in the face of
economic downturns requires a dynamic realignment of business
strategies, organizational design, and talent management. Based on
timely research conducted by Axiom Consulting Partners, Shockproof
empowers and enables business leaders, owners and managers to make
and maintain the necessary connection between strategies and
organization to achieve sustainable performance.

* Create an agile business that can rapidly reinvent itself as
business conditions change

* Foster leadership that knows how to mobilize people to execute
and deliver results

* Build a workforce that is adaptive, inherently innovative, and
energized by the rewards of success

As priorities change and challenges arise throughout the ebbs
and flows of the economic cycle, let Shockproof guide you to
reinvent your company and deliver sustained profitable growth in
good times and bad.
