Kurzbeschreibung

Praise for DRIVING EXCELLENCE

"A well-organized compendium of immense common sense. [The authors'] values-based, walk-the-talk approach recognizes the fast-changing environment we live in. It shows the importance of aggregating and integrating knowledge and experience on a continuing basis. Finally, it demonstrates the significance of creating a culture that reinforces those values and takes pride in thriving on the complexity."
—John E. Abele, founder and Director, Boston Scientific Corporation

"The Aggregate System is a powerful blend of strategic formula, exceptional culture, and human systems combined into a complete self-perpetuating system to produce exceptional performance. Anyone interested in improving the performance of his or her company should read this book."
—Jerry Colangelo, CEO and Chairman, Phoenix Suns

"This is not another 'silver bullet' piece of academic advice on how to do a quick fix to some imaginary business. Driving Excellence is a serious and detailed insight into how a real CEO, Steve Sanghi, has transformed a real company, Microchip, into a world-class enterprise. Anyone interested in understanding the realities of implementing and sustaining an enterprise-wide constant improvement plan should read this book."
—Dean Kamen, founder and President, DEKA Research & Development Corporation, inventor of the Segway HT, National Inventors Hall of Fame inductee

"Driving Excellence is the first book to deal with the integration of all the core elements that are essential to running a business. It should be required reading for all executives and venture firms looking to boost return on invested capital and add some consistency to their growth. High praise is due to Michael Jones and Steve Sanghi for developing a blueprint that works in the real world."
—Ed Sperling, Editor in Chief, Electronic News

"This book provides a nicely developed framework to understand organizational effectiveness and performance, drawing upon Sanghi's managerial skills, perfected in his significant turnaround performance at Microchip. Importantly, the reader benefits from insight and experience about building an organizational culture productive to performance and competitiveness."
—Steven Stralser, PhD, author of MBA in a Day

An excellent read 7. Mai 2012
Von Richard Lee - Veröffentlicht auf Amazon.com
Format:Gebundene Ausgabe
Caveat
------
I am a software engineer who read a few books on software management by
Steve McConnell. This is my first real book on business processes.

However, one of my hobbies is reading about evolution, evolutionary biology,
evolutionary psychology, evolutionary anthropology, neuroscience, religion,
atheism, and morality.

Opinion
-------
An amazing book! For me it was a real page turner and I finished it in one day.
I was totally onboard with 99% of the message. In fact I had many a chuckle at
the wrong practices described which I have observed for so many years.

I didn't know business people were so up to speed on the underlying science.
The science is solid, though it's hard to tell from the book. Obviously one
of the authors based his statements on the genetic influence of personality
on books such as "The Blank Slate" by Steven Pinker. Referencing such works
directly would have made "Driving Excellence" an even more compelling and
convincing work.

I imagine some will suggest that the Aggregate System is cultish,
but there is nothing in the book which is not well supported by science.
Therefore, there is no requirement to take their statements on faith.

Parts of this book remind me of the message conveyed in the old book
"The Road Less Traveled" by M. Scott Peck, which was quite surprising.
Continuous self improvement is possible.

I loved the line in Chapter 3:
"Politics, Ego, and Arrogance Not Allowed"
The word "Ego" appears 19 times in the book, all negatively.
The authors suggest that "Ego" should be channeled into the
"larger goal of building an impressive company". I believe
it can also be channeled into the pleasure of feeling the
happiness of a co-worker when he/she accomplishes something.

Kudos to Mike Jones and Steve Sanghi for sharing their experience and expertise.

References

No bibliography, notes, further reading, etc. At least it had an index.

Beliefs and Values

As described by Michael Shermer in "The Believing Brain", and his older books,
we tend to form beliefs for emotional reasons, and then use our intellect to rationalize
those beliefs. Paradoxically, more intelligent people do not necessarily form better beliefs.
They just are more adept at rationalizing those beliefs. Therefore their derived value system
may be more difficult to modify, especially in the higher (more intelligent) ranks of the company.

Manager as therapist

The manager as therapist is a little disconcerting.
Certainly many minor personality traits are amenable to manager intervention.
Obviously, a more serious personality disorder is best handled by the experts.
But will all managers know the difference between the two?

Offshoring

Investors seem to expect some degree of offshoring in technology companies.
Therefore a chapter on "The Aggregate System and Offshoring" would have been welcome.

I have read about nightmare offshoring projects.
How would the Aggregate System ameliorate the inherent difficulties of offshoring?
Do religious beliefs in India present any challenges to instituting the Aggregate System?
Is the Aggregate System easier to institute in China as it is less of an ego driven culture?
And various other interesting questions about offshoring.

Onshore Offshoring

As soon as a technology company acquires significant offshoring capacity,
the onshore design centers generally see a reduction in morale and a belief
that they are all "short timers". How does the Aggregate System handle that?
Even worse, how would the Aggregate System be introduced to such a group?

Having seen Microchip from the inside, I would say that the material presented in this book is truly what is practiced. Good message...A little disjointed and reduntant.

Sent one to my brother, an Operations Manager. 1. August 2007
Von Jerome D. George - Veröffentlicht auf Amazon.com
Format:Gebundene Ausgabe
This book provides a good argument valuing "human capital." So many people in business think only that "the dollar drives the business." People drive the business that drives the dollar.

Too few examples make this a dry text that is sometimes difficult to relate to one's own experience.
