Accelerated best practice - Fiona Westwood

All professionals are under pressure to implement change. They face increased competition and external regulations; their clients have become more demanding and critical, and quality work is at a premium with senior people moving between organisations. Professional service firms must find a way to respond positively to these pressures. Success stems from developing the ability to take control and make change happen."Accelerated Best Practice" allows readers to implement strategic and operational change quickly and successfully. It is based on the author's own experience of working with professional service organisations and identifies five key elements that build into a Model for Success. It enables senior managers to diagnose problems and source succinct and practical help by way of case studies, applied tools and techniques to put theory into practice. "Accelerated Best Practice" was originally published by Palgrave Macmillan in 2004. Her first book "Achieving Best Practice" was published by McGraw Hill, who voted it their September 2000 Book of the Month.
