| business transformation consultant ey: Corporate Transformation Alessandro Sinatra, 1997-09-30 by Professor Alessandro Sinatra xi There are two categories which divide academic writing. The first category is made up of those which gather and systemize a developed thought, while the second is made up of those which detail a learning process which is presently occurring. This book belongs to the second category. It is intended to offer evidence of a still continuing research process which began three years ago. This reseach, undertaken simultaneously in Europe, the United States and Japan, has provided interesting evidence as to the conditions which must be present within a company in order to ensure continuous change. The object of our research has been to galvanize academics and managers into a debate which is especially relevant today: that of the ability of a company to anticipate or respond to changes which are occurring in its environment. Today more than ever, the ability to change culture and organizational structure are conditions which ensure a company's success, or more often, permit its survival. This book offers ten case studies about ten different large international firms, and about how they approached the problem of strategic change. In addition, there are ten articles which analyze the empirical evidence presented in the cases, and which try to provide and develop a general framework which can be used in a variety of situations. The cases represent an empirical base of reference. For the manager, they can serve as a source of benchmarking with the present situation of herlhis company. |
| business transformation consultant ey: Ten Years to Midnight Blair H. Sheppard, 2020-08-04 “Shows how humans have brought us to the brink and how humanity can find solutions. I urge people to read with humility and the daring to act.” —Harpal Singh, former Chair, Save the Children, India, and former Vice Chair, Save the Children International In conversations with people all over the world, from government officials and business leaders to taxi drivers and schoolteachers, Blair Sheppard, global leader for strategy and leadership at PwC, discovered they all had surprisingly similar concerns. In this prescient and pragmatic book, he and his team sum up these concerns in what they call the ADAPT framework: Asymmetry of wealth; Disruption wrought by the unexpected and often problematic consequences of technology; Age disparities--stresses caused by very young or very old populations in developed and emerging countries; Polarization as a symptom of the breakdown in global and national consensus; and loss of Trust in the institutions that underpin and stabilize society. These concerns are in turn precipitating four crises: a crisis of prosperity, a crisis of technology, a crisis of institutional legitimacy, and a crisis of leadership. Sheppard and his team analyze the complex roots of these crises--but they also offer solutions, albeit often seemingly counterintuitive ones. For example, in an era of globalization, we need to place a much greater emphasis on developing self-sustaining local economies. And as technology permeates our lives, we need computer scientists and engineers conversant with sociology and psychology and poets who can code. The authors argue persuasively that we have only a decade to make headway on these problems. But if we tackle them now, thoughtfully, imaginatively, creatively, and energetically, in ten years we could be looking at a dawn instead of darkness. |
| business transformation consultant ey: Enterprise Architecture for Digital Business Tushar K. Hazra, Bhuvan Unhelkar, 2020-10-14 Enterprise Architecture (EA) is an essential part of the fabric of a business; however, EA also transcends and transforms technology and moves it into the business space. Therefore, EA needs to be discussed in an integrated, holistic, and comprehensive manner. Only such an integrated approach to EA can provide the foundation for a transformation that readies the business for the myriad enterprise-wide challenges it will face. Highly disruptive technologies such as Big Data, Machine Learning, and Mobile and Cloud Computing require a fine balance between their business and technical aspects as an organization moves forward with its digital transformation. This book focuses on preparing all organizations – large and small – and those wishing to move into them for the impact of leveraging these emerging, disruptive, and innovative technologies within the EA framework. |

They make things too complex. They clutter it with jargon and confusion. They dither on the launch pad. They hire too many consultants, chase after too many fads. It doesn’t have to be that complicated. Whatever your goal, whatever your role, Michael T. Kanazawa and Robert H. Miles introduce a simple, practical, 100% results- driven approach that works. Drawing on their experience working with hundreds of senior executives, they show how to align your organization behind just a few core initiatives; bias your people toward speed; create leaders at every level; and achieve traction and accountability in all facets of execution.

| business transformation consultant ey: The Pathless Path Paul Millerd, 2022-01-13 Not all who wander are lost… Paul thought he was on his way. From a small-town Connecticut kid to the most prestigious consulting firm in the world, he had everything he thought he wanted. Yet he decided to walk away and embark on the real work of his life - finding the work that matters and daring to create a life to support that. This Pathless Path is about finding yourself in the wrong life, and the real work of figuring out how to live. Through painstaking experiments, living in different countries, and contemplating the deepest questions about life, Paul pieces together a set of ideas and principles that guide him from unfulfilled and burned out to a life he is excited to keep living. The Pathless Path is not a how-to book filled with “hacks”; instead, it is a vulnerable account of Paul’s journey from leaving the socially accepted “default path” towards another, one focused on doing work that matters, finding the others, and defining your own success. This book is an ideal companion for people considering leaving their jobs, embarking on a new path, dealing with the uncertainty of an unconventional path, or looking to improve their relationship with work in a fast-changing world. Reader feedback: “It’s a rare book in that it is tangentially about careers and being more focused and productive, but unlike almost every other book I have read about these topics, I finished this one and felt better about myself and my career.” “The themes are timeless. The content is expertly written. The advice is refreshingly non-prescriptive.” “If you have questioned your own path, or a nagging lack of intention in your choices you need this book. If you have felt a gradual loss of agency in your direction you need this book. You are in the grip of an invisible script that was not written for you.” “The writing is fantastic - Paul's writing is approachably poetic; a quick read that weaves together his own experience moving from a 'default path' overachiever to a 'pathless path' seeker of passion and curiosity, deep research into the history of work and collections of perspectives from years of podcasting, friendship, conferences, and meetings with other 'alternative path' life-livers. |

| business transformation consultant ey: Run_frictionless: How to Free a Founder from a Sale Role Anthony Coundouris, 2019-01-17 run frictionless helps founders scale out of a sales role, using a decision-making framework called the 4Qs.The mistake founders and high performing salespeople make is trying to scale up the business by replacing themselves with another human being. Simply, there isn't another human like you looking for a job. Those who are good at selling are busy doing their own startup, not working for you. Scale up a business and free the founder of sales role There are a few things you can try to free a founder from a sales role. One. Don't worry, keep growing. Two. Stop growing the business. Or three, hire a replacement. These are not effective! Over time they will fail you.run frictionless presents an alternative - an option nobody is talking about. Scaling the business with a sales system.A sales system spells out the formula required to make a customer, in a clearly understood sequence. It is similar to a sales funnel or sales process, only more comprehensive. It will tell you the precise number of interactions required to make a customer. If you serve small businesses, this could be 15 interactions. If you serve enterprise forms it could number 25 or more interactions. Predict sales. Distill a sale process to a handful of customer interactions you can teach the whole organization. Win a customer, and know why you won that customer. Get more leads. The book offers several pre-designed customer flows to improve sales you can use right away. Imagine how much business you're turning away, simply because you're not starting conversations with customers the way they want. Better decision-making. If you are going to free the founder, staff have to learn to think like the founder. Make everyone accountable with an easy-to-use framework called the 4Qs. Sell 24/7. Automation moves the customers through a sales system even when the salesforce or founder is not at their desk. Scaling up the startup with a sales system A sales system is key to scaling up a startup. If staff follow the formula, you can predict the odds of creating a customer. Imagine a sales system as a series of dials. Turn the dials and you make an improvement. It is not uncommon to improve sales by 25 percent just by turning a dial. You didn't re-engineer the business or substitute staff. Building lasting sales teams Another benefit of a sales system is it augments your workforce. The best people are working on the highest value tasks, and other tasks can be carried out by less experienced folk. The intellectual property of how a customer is made is in the sales system. Each salesperson needs only understand the part of the system where they contribute. Design your own sales system run frictionless will teach you how to design a sales system, using a framework called the 4Qs. It doesn't matter if you are a fintech startup or a traditional medical practice operating for five years. The 4Qs will take what you know intuitively and organize this knowledge into four powerful quadrants, making it easy to run frictionless. |

In this respect, it is often conceptualized as a policy cycle, consisting of several different phases, such as agenda setting, policy formulation, policy implementation & monitor and policy evaluation. DECIDO is a project funded by the European Commission focused on “the use the European cloud infrastructure for public administrations” in the context of policymaking. The liaison between the adoption of the disruptive technologies in the public administration, and the methodology to follow each step of the policy life cycle using a citizen science approach relying on the co-creation, is the main achievement of the experiments executed in four European cities (Kajaani, Turin, Halki island, Aragon region) with the involvement of citizens, businesses, decision makers, associations. This book highlights the outcomes, the recommendation and the lessons learnt collected during the development of the project that can be used as best practices in the policymaking. |

Miles, 2015-12-15 A PROVEN, NO-NONSENSE, STEP-BY-STEP, RESULTS-DRIVEN APPROACH TO DRIVING CORPORATE TRANSFORMATION AND BREAKTHROUGH PERFORMANCE IN A DISRUPTIVE WORLD Why do most corporate transformation leaders fail to achieve breakthrough performance? They make things too complex. They clutter it with jargon and confusion. They pancake new initiatives on top of old ones. They dither on the launch pad. They chase too many fads. And they fail to make it “safe” for leaders to lead the transformation at their own level. In short, they don’t have a reliable corporate transformation game plan. Whatever your corporate transformation challenge, whatever your role, Robert H. Miles and Michael T. Kanazawa introduce a simple, proven, results-driven approach that has underpinned some of the most successful corporate transformations of our time. Drawing on their experience as principal process architects working with dozens of CEOs and executive teams, and hundreds of senior executives and staff professionals, they show you how to develop a compelling and potent corporate transformation game plan that enables you to align your organization behind just a few core initiatives; bias your people toward speed; create leaders at every level; integrate in new “disruptive” tools to accelerate progress; and achieve traction and accountability in all phases of execution. Whether you’re a new CEO taking charge to transform your company, an executive redirecting a major business or function, or one of the hundreds of managers and thousands of employees trying to make sense of a transformation and contribute to it, this book will help you decipher the complexity, find your place on the transformation roadmap, and ensure that the effort rapidly reaches its intended breakthrough results. A PROVEN, STEP-BY-STEP ROADMAP FOR TRANSFORMATION LEADERS — FAST, SIMPLE, AND COMPRESSED Corporate transformation and breakthrough performance without the confusion and complexity GEARED TO RAPIDLY ENGAGE THE FULL ORGANIZATION To equip leaders at all levels to lead your transformation in an aligned and engaging manner FOCUSES EVERYONE ON “DOING MORE ON LESS” Generates focused execution and avoid layering initiative upon initiative to conquer organizational gridlock DESIGNED TO “DISRUPT” HOW TRADITIONAL TRANSFORMATION PROGRAMS ARE DONE Introduces disruptive transformation competencies that drive innovation, growth, and a new way of activating change Corporate transformation is tough work, but extraordinarily rewarding for all involved when led successfully. Somebody’s got to do it, and do it well. What if that someone happens to be you? Where will you start? How will you frame your transformation game plan and lay out its roadmap? What will you do first, and who will you engage when in the enterprise? How will you keep it alive after the early excitement? And how will you make it part of your management process so that it can become a reliable core competency for rising to the increasing rate of disruptive transformation challenges facing your company? Now there’s a breakthrough methodology to enable CEOs and executive leaders to rise to these corporate transformation challenges. |

| business transformation consultant ey: Transformation Sprint Haydn Shaughnessy, Fin Goulding, 2020-10-25 Digital transformation will be the words on most people's lips during 2021, as the world looks to ameliorate the impact of COVID but transforming is notoriously difficult to get right and failure rates run at the 80% mark. At last, there is a method to help you through the challenging times ahead. Transformation Sprint brings agile thinking to the process of digital transformation planning and design.To date, most transformations have been built out using traditional methods. Ironically. That means the route companies choose when they want to be agile, is mapped out in a non-agile way. Transformation Sprint gives you a way round this transformation paradox. It is a six step method that embraces agile thinking and practices and applies them to the problem of transformation design and execution. Transformation Sprint allows you to start your journey in an agile way and in doing so radically improves the chances of success.a fantastic, expert guide for how to get your team to deliver a compelling vision, with a clear, achievable plan. I wish I had this 20 years ago. Hugh Hessing, former COO, Aviva PlcChange has always been difficult but more so now than ever, as businesses scramble to understand the impact of COVID19 on their revenues and strategies. Policy makers meanwhile are facing a once-in-a-lifetime challenge. How will businesses and governments go about making the critical changes needed? This step-by-step guide to designing good transformations and fixing broken ones is a bible for people who work in transformation or are affected by sudden events that derail work in progress. Whether you are an agile coach, agile leader, project manager or senior decision maker this book will teach you a four week fix to any significant problem you face. Use Transformation Sprints not only to solve big problems but also to upskill yourself and prepare for a better career. Transformation Sprints takes the principle of rapid momentum from the agile world and applies it to big problems. It breaks down the process of resetting a major transformation into six main areas but focuses primarily on three: perspectives, playback and prioritisation, the three Ps of successful change. Whether you are implementing a standardised framework such as SAFe or you are following the Spotify model, launching a digital transformation or find yourself in the middle of any kind of change program, you are going to enter stormy waters. The chances of your change-by-design plan actually working are statistically very low and when things go wrong they go wrong in very complex ways. Transformation Sprint is a method for simplifying complexity and taking back control of a company's future.Organisational change is hard in its own right, only compounded by the fact that every organisation is unique and has a unique journey ahead of them. Yet across them all, there is a certain rhythm or cadence that underpins every journey. What Fin and Haydn have managed to do with Transformation Sprint is to highlight all the major touchpoints along this journey. There is something in this book for everyone, be they a business leader looking to understand the journey ahead of them, or a business consultant looking to see how best to help their clients.EVAN LEYBOURN, CEO and Co-Founder, Business Agility Institute. |

Business professionals can benefit with a jump-start approach to applying consulting principles to their business. Designed for the busy professional, The Consulting Apprenticeship is a book of forty, quick-read ideas. These forty, short chapters are divided into four sections: Consulting Mindset - This section covers consulting ways of thinking and can be adopted by both company personnel and consultants. Consulting Techniques - This section covers specific tactics and toolkit methods when using consultative approaches in the trenches as either a company- or consulting firm-practitioner. Consulting Mastery - This section covers advanced perspectives on consulting and may be more useful to either company personnel evaluating consultants or mid- to senior-level consultants.
