Description and Reviews
From The Publisher:

This concise, fast-paced book is about consistently outsmarting the competition in an environment where even the best strategies rarely prevail. It's about companies that have accelerated to the leading edge of business practice and stayed there, year after year. And it's from the author who has written one of the most revolutionary books of all time: James Champy, author of Reengineering the Corporation.

In Outsmart!, Champy teaches the remarkable lessons of businesses that have achieved super-high growth rates for 3 or more years in a row. These "high-velocity" companies range from classic startups to old-line family-run manufacturing businesses: from S.A. Robotics to Stonyfield Farms, MinuteClinic to Shutterfly. Champy uncovers what they share in common and shows how you can do it too in your company. Drawing on his rigorous, far-reaching research, you'll learn how to generate strategy organically: from the frontlines, executive suites, and everywhere in between. You'll discover how to outsmart your competitors by finding distinctive market positions and sustainable advantages in products and services, surprising delivery methods, and unexpected customers with unexpected needs. You'll learn how to uncover "bubbles worth bursting", organize your ideas and sharpen your focus, and combine high purpose with cool pragmatism. And you'll learn how to recognize when the world's getting ready to catch up, so you can outsmart them yet again!
