Axial Management

About the Book

The life-long task of a business is to adapt, to meet the needs and demands of the market. A business, then, has an organic choice, to reproduce and nourish its offspring, or to die.

Whether the profit is in the form of tangible goods, services, or human welfare, this book will be most valuable to the decision maker who seeks ways to identify, clarify, and resolve growth issues inherently present in a business.

Axial Management introduces a new approach that brings well-established principles to a fresh understanding for the health of an organization, a process or service. This model utilizes the tri-functional approach of Planning, Execution, and Control.

The Axial Management model provides guidelines to plot schedules, records and processes in a user-friendly manner. The manager who bears the responsibility of investments, the delivery of goods and services, and has revenue accountability, will also be able to deliver with precision.

This book develops this approach to give the manager a clear understanding of the milestones and their relationship to the schedules, records, and processes. The manager will know whether the project is operating within the desired margins of acceptable performance.

The ideal scenario is contrasted by six Cautionary Cases. These Cases pinpoint the exact location where the schedules, records, and process mechanisms may be deficient and where they are performing as planned.

The applications for the Axial Management model are limitless. These principles can be applied to all kinds of organizations within the company. As an organic model, it lives to nourish the organization.
