History confirms that the odds are very slim for any organization to survive more than a few decades, including many of those revered in other books for their current success. "Beat the Odds" evolved from a study of a broad pool of companies across a wide spectrum of performance over an extended period of time. It clearly illustrates why great organizations slip from leader to follower to road kill and how organizations can beat the odds and avoid this fate.
Robert Rudzki, a former senior corporate executive, is president of Greybeard Advisors, a firm that assists enterprises improve their near-term financial performance and long-term business viability. He is a frequent conference speaker, and is co-author of the supply management bestseller Straight to the Bottom Line.
