This book is highly readable, and contains all the practices you'll need to make your organization successful and ready to meet its challenges. You'll have enough information here to train your staff and peers on a proven approach that has resulted in Fortune 500 successes for Intel, Motorola and other companies that Daniels and Mather have worked with. Once you've started using these methods, you'll wonder how you survived without them.
