Synopsis
This is a guide to recognizing the symptoms of "corporate anorexia", and the actions needed to achieve the balance that leads to real and sustained growth. It shows that de-layered structures can deliver a sustained competitive edge, provided that constant "health checks" keep check of stress levels, spans of control and support mechanisms. It examines the new role of HR practitioners as "corporate physiologists", building up business muscle and slimming down where necessary while avoiding the dangers of "anorexia". The book clearly distinguishes between leanness to cut costs and leanness to achieve competitive advantage, and emphasizes that success can only be achieved through people and not despite them or against them. It draws upon the experiences of organizations, ranging from BA to BP, Rolls Royce to Rank Xerox, and BMW and Body Shop. Personnel professionalism requires directors and managers to keep fully abreast of current business strategy; the "Developing Strategies" series provides the tools for them to make a full contribution to organizational success.
