The secret of achieving and sustaining organizational excellence revealedIn an ever-changing world where only a third of excellent organizations stay that way over the long term, and where even fewer are able to implement successful change programs, leaders are in need of big ideas and new tools to thrive. In Beyond Performance, McKinsey Company's Scott Keller and Colin Price give you everything you need to build an organization that can execute in the short run and has the vitality to prosper over the long term. Drawing on the most exhaustive research effort of its kind on organizational effectiveness and change management, Keller and Price put hard science behind their big idea: that the health of an organization is equally as important as its performance. In the book's foreword, management guru Gary Hamel refers to this notion as quot;a new manifesto for thinking about organizations.quot; * The authors illustrate why copying management best practices from other companies is more dangerous than helpful * Clearly explains how to determine the mutually reinforcing combination of management practices that best fits your organization's context * Provides practical tools to achieve superior levels of performance and health through a staged change process: aspire, assess, architect, act, and advance. Among these are new techniques for dealing with those aspects of human behavior that are seemingly irrational (and therefore confound even the smartest leaders), yet entirely predictableUltimately, building a healthy organization is an intangible asset that competitors copy at their peril and that enables you to skillfully adapt to and shape your environment faster than others--giving you the ultimate competitive advantage.

Foreword ix INTRODUCTION Excellence Found? Xiii Only a third of organizations both achieve and sustain excellence. Why so few? People have been working together for millennia you d think we d be better at it by now. And what s the cost to business and society that we re not? PART I WHY PERFORMANCE IS NOT ENOUGH CHAPTER 1 The Big Idea: Performance and Health 3 Performance is about delivering financial results in the here and now. Health is about the ability to do it year in, year out. The two are not the same. Some companies have neither; others have just one. The ultimate competitive advantage lies in having both. But how? CHAPTER 2 The Science: Hard Facts behind the Soft Stuff 25 Health is every bit as measurable as performance. The path to health is just as clear as that to performance. The most exhaustive research ever undertaken in the field tells us so. Is a change in management accounting called for? PART II THE FIVE FRAMES CHAPTER 3 Aspire: Where Do We Want to Go? 47 Should we put more emphasis on short-term goals or long-term vision? Actually, it s the medium term that matters most. Is there a recipe for success? In fact, there are four. Discover what a lottery ticket has to do with deciding which one is right for your organization. CHAPTER 4 Assess: How Ready Are We to Go There? 77 You know where you want to go, but does your organization have the will and the skills to get there? Finding out isn t easy, but it is possible. Understand how through lessons learned from running a four-minute mile and observing disenfranchised monkeys. CHAPTER 5 Architect: What Do We Need to Do to Get There? 109 Now it s time to plan the journey to achieve your goals. Working out what to do to improve performance isn t enough you need to decide what not to do as well. And designing the how just as thoughtfully as the what will be the key to unlocking better health. CHAPTER 6 Act: How Do We Manage the Journey? 155 Staying the course requires flexibility adjusting as you go. Unde
