This text examines risk management in organizations, rather than personal insurance, and offers a balanced presentation of institutional and statistical material. The book provides a problem-solving approach to the subject and is student-centred with examples and cases. It includes material relevant to private, public and non-profit organizations and examines personal benefits, such as life and health insurance and pensions within the context of the organization.

The authors provide a practical and comprehensive approach to implementing strategic intent in organizations through the use of lean management systems, strategic planning, lean enterprise management, leadership, and team building. This book is filled with real-life success stories that illustrate how companies have profited through the use of this lean methodology. Unique features include a new model for a lean management system, management systems diagramming, and a circular systems model for strategic direction setting. The approach presented is founded upon employee alignment through involvement and building employee buy-in to support implementation. Simple, comprehensive, and practical, Transforming Strategy into Success is a must read for lean practitioners, lean learners, and organizational leadership.
