RENEWAL
An Effective Transformative Change Framework
by R. E. Biasca

Context changes have been sudden, unexpected, and unsettling in an uncertain, complex, and ambiguous world, creating challenges and opportunities for business. This book proposes rethinking business transformation again to renew the organization and sustainably improve its competitiveness. Different studies have demonstrated that change efforts result in less-than-satisfactory results.

This publication is making unique contributions to the field of business management.

The Business Transformation Model. A holistic, interdisciplinary, flexible approach is proposed, considering the perspectives of 18 disciplines. The practical road map uses a medical analogy to facilitate comprehension: analysis (diagnosis and prognosis), innovation (prescription), execution (therapy), and consolidation (preventive medicine). It integrates previous knowledge, is “fad-proof,” and can be applied to organizations of various sizes in different industries and countries.

The Competitive Assessment. This guide allows the reader to distinguish between competitive positions. It indicates how profound the competitive gap is, how much time is available, what resources are needed, what restrictions exist, and what the main problems are to solve.

Innovation Formula. The number of essential recommendations is limited, a fact that is not obvious. Those 100 innovation ideas are listed and classified, and a general transformation formula is derived. A different formula is shown for each competitive position. Projects should have priorities and a specific sequence; the number of simultaneous projects is limited.

Execution Process. An action plan divided into seven phases (with 30 steps) is recommended. The implementation depends on the competitive position. Much thought, experience, and research went into that list of 30 steps oriented to practitioners.
