James Champy

James Champy is recognized the world over for his work solving the issues that inhibit competitiveness and business growth.

More for Less: Virtually every company is under constant pressure to deliver more value for less dollars. Surviving in this environment requires management to focus on the value they provide and manage that effort in different ways. Cutting costs is crucial to the ability to deliver more for less, and technology is the great driver of cost management. But due to mismanagement and poor execution, many companies don't get optimal return on their technology investments.

Time for Change: Management practices aren’t keeping pace with technological advances and the deficit is dangerous. In order to cope with the combination of global competitive pressure and the frustrating inefficiency and redundancy that still persist, it’s now or never when it comes to building business on a platform of information technology. Without a solid strategy, though, technology can actually harm progress, not help it.

Charting A Course: Champy reveals ways to achieve business results through four distinct, yet overlapping areas – business strategy, management and operations, organizational renewal and IT. In his presentations he shows practical ways leaders can create organizations that relish change, welcome transparency, share ideas and know that control is only gained by giving it up. His brilliant understanding of business processes allows him to dissect complicated business scenarios and offer reliable and common-sense plans for invigorating the organization.

Author: Champy is the author of Reengineering The Corporation: A Manifesto for Business Revolution; Reengineering Management: The Mandate for New Leadership; and X-Engineering The Corporation: Reinventing Your Business in the Digital Age.
