This book opens your eyes to what companies need to do to be competitive in the highly competitive economy in which we exist. It provides breakthrough thinking in how to leverage marketing and sales activities.

4.0 out of 5 stars A break through book!, January 29, 2007
This review is from: Value Acceleration: The Secrets to Building an Unbeatable Competitive Advantage (Hardcover)
Value Acceleration is a break through book! It applies the process improvement tools that great companies like IBM, Toyota, Intuit are using to overpower their competitors. However the book does not get bound up in terminology. It is also well researched, written and attributed. The footnotes are bang on. My lesson learned was the clear delineation of the importance of Marketing as a strategic interface between Product Development and Sales. This book is a major step toward successful implementation of Six Sigma and Lean Thinking to result in an end-to-end Product Development- Marketing- Sales process. The book makes it clear that this will be key to good companies being able to continue to seize market opportunities. The Prologue as a fable is extremely well done and grips the reader. A must buy for all businesses!

5.0 out of 5 stars The Secrets to Build an Unbeatable Competive Advantage, February 4, 2007
This review is from: Value Acceleration: The Secrets to Building an Unbeatable Competitive Advantage (Hardcover)
This book is a must-read for anyone who has struggled with joining marketing and sales process. Imagine if you had a model that when implemented successfully empowered all sales and marketing activity for the long-term competitive advantage. This book provides just that. If there is one book I would recommend for both CMOs and sales professionals to read this year, this book is it. The authors not only provide real-world examples but actionable steps at every turn for a company to successfully reduce all the bottlenecks that often occur in marketing/sales process. Stellar case examples include Samsung, Motorola, Ford and others. Lean thinking has finally been introduced and applied to marketing/sales process! Bravo!
