A comprehensive playbook of best practices

Learn from the best. Inside, you’ll find many best practices that you can apply starting today. They will help you and your team to translate the Four Principles of Operational Excellence into impactful action.

It includes comparisons between the actions of good managers and bad ones, detailed examples and word-by-word scripts.

 

How to get buy-in and how to roll-out

Other books only describe how an effective company looks like, ignoring how to get there. This book doesn’t leave you alone with the implementation. It presents a Roadmap you can use to obtain buy-in from the Top Management and to roll-out the change initiatives.

 

A complete toolkit

  • Handle unmotivated workers and instill newfound proactivity.
  • Get your workers to work safely, even when the boss is not looking.
  • Get your employees to keep an orderly work-floor, even when they are not motivated.
  • Get your quality up, while decreasing the cognitive load of your workers.
  • Manage a fast-changing company, where workers fail to keep up with growth and change.

 

Best practices that work

You will only find best practices that are simple enough to be easily implemented and reliable enough to work even when your workers are tired or distracted.

  • You are good at the technical part of your job but feel like you can improve on driving change initiatives.

Inside Best Practices

FAQs

Q: Will this work for me if I’m new to my job / don’t work for a company that strictly operates in manufacturing or logistics / etc?

A: Most likely. I’ve got to observe tens of companies and hundreds of managers, so I have a pretty good idea of what works and what doesn’t. Also, I’ve recently consulted for software companies too. Of course, this book will not work for everyone. That’s why I offer a satisfied-or-reimbursed guarantee. If you do not LOVE this course, just send me an email (my address is Luca AT Luca-dellanna.com) within 30 days from when you received this book and I will refund you the full amount.

Q: Some of the workers in my company are demotivated or “difficult”. Will this book work anyway?

A: This book has specifically been written taking into account demotivated, negligent or “difficult” workers. It considers the conditions that exist in the real world, it has not been written by an academic in his Ivory Tower.

Q: A consultant proposed some initiatives which failed. How will this book be different?

A: This book does not only propose principles, best practices and procedures that work when implemented, but most importantly guides you during their implementation and anticipates the most common problems companies & managers in your situation might face. This book does not ignore problems; it solves them.
