Synopsis

THE NEW YORK TIMES AND WALL STREET JOURNAL BESTSELLER

With all of the pressures successful business leaders have today, none is more urgent or challenging than learning the ability to execute strategy.

While larger businesses have the luxury of budgets and resources to meet this challenge, it's the small and midsized businesses that now have a tremendous opportunity to level the playing field, leapfrog the expensive, outdated approaches of the past, and attack the challenge of execution in a revolutionary way. The key insights are:

• Excellence is the enduring pursuit of balanced strategy and execution
• Planning and executing, while at the same time dealing with the inevitable surprises, is the biggest challenge in business
• Overcoming this challenge is what we mean by solving the one problem that makes all others easier
• Failing to solve the problem destines your organization to a reactive, fire-fighting future.

Based on breakthrough research, field testing and proven best-practices, the thought-leading vision described by Gary Harpst in Six Disciplines® Execution Revolution sets a new course for how small and midsized businesses can finally confront the never-ending challenge of executing strategy.

As a follow-up to the success of Six Disciplines for Excellence, Harpst's new book, Six Disciplines® Execution Revolution, details the elements of a complete strategy execution program, clarifies how it could only have happened now, and explains why such a program will soon become a mainstream requirement for your business.

About the Author

Gary Harpst, a highly successful entrepreneur and CEO, spent twenty years as leader of Solomon Software, which implemented more than 60,000 businesses management systems in small and midsized businesses, across almost every industry imaginable, before it was sold to Great Plains and eventually Microsoft.

This experience convinced Harpst that most businesses could execute their plans significantly better than they do today. He formed a team and invested $20+million to determine why. In his first book, Six Disciplines for Excellence, Harpst revealed the first missing link--a step-by-step strategy-execution methodology. In Six Disciplines® Execution Revolution, Harpst's surprising insights show why a revolution is about to start that will provide a leapfrog opportunity for small and midsized businesses in the way they execute their strategy.
