Key Stages in Your Quantum Leap Project

Your quantum leap project will have to be executed in six key stages, all of which will be covered in Part II:

1.      Visualize your ‘ideal organization’ (a ‘perfect business’) under two key related assumptions: (1) everything is possible; and (2) there are no limits. In the subsequent section I will explain why this stage and these assumptions are critically important to the success of your quantum leap project

2.      Visualize the current situation in your company (‘AS IS’) by conducting a comprehensive business analysis (CBA) of your company

3.      Visualize the desired situation in your company (‘TO BE’). Which must be as close to the ‘ideal’ situation as possible, of course

4.      Develop transition plans (financial and operational) from ‘AS IS’ to ‘TO BE’. These plans must be accompanied by a third plan – a ‘business plan’ which must explain and justify all the numbers (KPI values) in your financial plans and all the activities in your operational plan

5.      Execute your transitional plans making the necessary adjustments called for by inevitable changes in your corporate environment. Keep in mind, though that you change the means – ways to accomplish your objectives – not your objectives. Other than to make the latter more attractive – by capitalizing on new opportunities created by changes in your corporate environment


6.      Develop and deploy ‘kaizen’ – a ‘continuous improvement’ system to make sure that your company always operates at its top performance
