Now that he's through Reengineering the Corporation, Jim Champy—former head of Perot Systems and current advisor to healthcare companies—has turned his attention to healthcare, a subject that's certainly seem its share of discussion and debate.

In Reengineering Health Care: A Manifesto for Radically Rethinking Health Care Delivery , Champy and Harry Greenspun, M.D., chief medical officer at Dell Inc., take aim at the truncated and outdated way healthcare is delivered.

Armed with data and discussions with innovative and visionary leaders, the authors lay out a framework for how to deliver better care to more people, at lower cost. Concepts include more efficient and safer delivery, earning trust of healthcare professionals and harnessing technology, among others. The methods, however, are not unique to healthcare. Their ideas offer a clear roadmap for realizing the potential of any organization.
