Book Abstract
MAIN IDEA
From time to time, just about all businesses face a need to improve their performance. Generally speaking, these demands for change come in three strengths:
Good companies are seeking to become great companies by undergoing a bit of a corporate tune-up.
Troubled companies realize they have serious problems – and therefore a corporate turnaround program is needed.
Companies facing a crisis need sound crisis management if they are to snatch success from the jaws of imminent failure.
The Phoenix Effect is a set of nine strategies which can be used in all three situations to revitalize a business.
