Not since reading Belasco's Teaching the Elephant to Dance have I read a book so compelling to action as this is. I strongly recommend HELIX!!

This it the book most consultants are afraid of publishing, as it will allow one to execute a project on their own, without paying large consulting dollars for tremendous results.

WITHOUT A DOUBT, THE BEST PRACTICES FOR BPI
Reviewer: Richard, CPA, CISA, CBM (BPI Consultant)from Madison, WI USA
WOW! The book's subtitle says it all—these ARE the keys to creating efficiencies in business processes. Michael Wood extends the lessons learned in his first book, The Helix Factor, by providing a working manual, complete with templates and instructions. Using an actual case study, Mr. Wood shows you how to apply the Helix tools to business improvement. This is the only guide I have found that is useful as a field book to facilitating a process improvement project.
The Hexlix Factor II will definitely help you launch projects and ultimately bring them to a successful conclusion. This authoritative guidebook provides all the tools you need to your make business processes more efficient and create a positive impact to your bottom line.
The only thing missing is an electronic version of the templates used in the Helix approach. However, given the fact that they are relatively easy to construct and will provide a valuable learning experience from the reader, their omission does not detract from the importance of the material.
