The Top 25 Management Tools for 2009
Whether executives want to increase revenues, innovate, improve quality, increase efficiencies or plan for the future, management tools have become a common part of how successful executives achieve their goals.
Darrell Rigby is a partner in the Boston office of Bain & Company and to help inform managers about the tools available to them, he founded and launched Bain’s Management Tools Survey, a global survey on the usage, satisfaction and effectiveness of several widely used management tools among a broad range of senior executives.
For the past 16 years, he has published “Management Tools: An Executive’s Guide” containing the 25 most popular and pertinent tools and the study has grown to include a survey of executive attitudes toward current management trends.
The list of 25 top management tools is:
