In the world of business, finding the best means of managing not only the staff of employees within any given company, but the systems which any modern business will employ within their business models is crucial. It adds to the management and organization of one’s business. Of course, this isn’t a simple nor easy thing to do all of the time, and as Theodore Issac Rubin once said, “Happiness does not come from doing easy work but from the afterglow of satisfaction that comes after the achievement of a difficult task that demanded our best.”
In author Dr. Terrence L. Farrier, PhD’s Professionalizing Strategic Systems Management for Business and Organizational Success: Introducing the CCIM Three- Leg Stool, the author explores a new technique in business management and organization with a business’s training and operations overall, titled the “Change and Continuous Improvement Management Three-Leg Stool.” The model is shown in a way which will help senior and middle-management avoid the stagnation that can often arise in these aspects of a business, and better allow teachers and trainers the ability to teach business students broader techniques to better prepare for the end of academia and provide the tools needed for the business world.
This is a clear, concise, and technical read to say the least. The author does a great job of highlighting research and experience which adds depth and better understanding of this “Change and Continuous Improvement Management Three-Leg Stool” program. The author describes it best early on, saying that this model will allow businesses and their employees to eliminate the must-do aspect of operations and replace it with not only the “why” of it all, but the “how” in detail-oriented steps the author lays out within this model.
The book is truly the perfect read for those with a working knowledge or interest in the business world, especially those which explore business management and operations within any given business. What stood out too about this book was how it reaches out to multiple sectors, from the Civilian sector to politics and even military applications, in regards to business and organization overall. The book is also perfect for those in the academia part of the business world as well, as it really hones in on the changing models and environments that businesses will meet as technology, the cultures of the world, and the years themselves advance and grow.
An engaging, thoughtful, and memorable read, author and Dr. Terrence L. Farrier, PhD’s Professionalizing Strategic Systems Management for Business and Organizational Success: Introducing the CCIM Three-Leg Stool is a must-read business book. Perfect for senior and mid-level management and business students in training, the book acts not only as a model and manual for emerging and growing environments that business training and operations will need to account for, but does an amazing job of connecting with business-oriented readers overall. It is an ideal textbook for advanced business school courses as well.
