ABSTRACT

Sure to become the definitive guide for leaders facing the challenges of rapid enterprise-wide transformation, this book is the first detailed release of Robert H. Miles’s proven Accelerated Corporate Transformation process – the ACT Method.

Many books on corporate transformation exist, often focusing on leadership styles and stories. This business manual goes further and deeper, providing frameworks, tools, and templates, to show what, when, and how a leader of enterprise-wide transformation should pace an organization through the essential transformation phases of Launch, Cascade, and Execute. The ACT approach is leader-led at all levels. It rapidly engages all employees and has reliably generated rapid breakthrough results across a wide variety of executive leaders, organizational types, and transformation challenges.

Complemented by an optional online course, this Guide will be an indispensable resource for anyone leading or supporting a rapid transformation in their organization. Line managers, strategy consultants, learning and development professionals, human resources managers, and anyone interested in the inner workings of top leadership circles will appreciate the insights this book provides.

The Guide is also available as an online course, Transformation Leader’s Guide: The Online Course.
