Leadership success depends on clarifying and simplifying complex problems while maintaining a positive outlook. Change or Die - The Business Process Improvement Manual provides you with the tools to do so. Packed with more than 70 pages of workshop tools, agendas, and activities that detail each of the six stages of the business process improvement (BPI) method, it presents a BPI method that promotes the use of facilitator-led workshops to help you and your team make better decisions.
Developed from empirical research and bolstered by the results of client experience from hundreds of hours of facilitated workshops and BPI activity, Change or Die employs the authors' ENGAGE methodology. To ensure your team achieves its deliverables, the authors walk you through each BPI method. In each chapter you will find:
Objectives and deliverables clearly identified
Real-world examples from companies the authors have worked with—presented using a global manufacturer as an example
Activities, questionnaires, and examples
A self-assessment tool to help you measure progress, identify gaps in team performance, and determine team readiness for the next stage
This resource-rich book includes downloadable resources with supplemental activities, challenges, facilitated workshops, templates, tables, and questionnaires—tools designed to ease each participant’s path to project success.

For more than 20 years, through professional and academic endeavors, Terrence has focused on teaching people how to think rather than what to think. His experience has proven that the two most important components to high-quality decision making are: 1. Nobody is smarter than everybody. 2. There is usually more than one right answer. Terrence is passionate about using and teaching facilitation so that people become more collaborative. He is the lead instructor and primary curriculum developer for MG Rush Performance Learning and introduced the concept of holism to the field of structured facilitation as a method for keeping meetings on target and aligning objectives across an entire organization.
