[PDF] The 80/20 CEO: Take Command of Your Business in 100 Days – Bill Canady

The 80/20 CEO: Take Command of Your Business in 100 Days introduces the Profitable Growth Operating System (PGOS), featuring 80/20.  

PGOS is based on the five management practices 80/20, strategy, talent, M&A, and lean.  It is for all senior-level executives, established, rising, or aspiring, who want to lead their organization in strategic growth. PGOS was born in the intensely growth-focused environment of middle-market companies held by private equity, but it applies to virtually any business intent on improving and growing.

The middle market is a powerhouse for the U.S. economy. Yet many of these companies are little known to the general public. PGOS will help them break through with a proven process to double the company’s sales in three to five years.

 
Excerpt from the book:

EVEN GOOD COMPANIES lose their way. When that happens, what do you need?

Profitable growth on demand. Now, in fact.

But who yuh gonna call?

The guy who’s got the operating system. And since I’m that guy—me—you now have access to the profitable growth operating system (PGOS) playbook that will show you how to turn your business around in 100 days, use the 80/20 principle to earn the right to grow and position it for long-term profitable growth. This book will walk you through all the strategic actions needed to prioritize everything possible on the 20 percent of investments, processes, products, and customers that generate 80 percent of your revenue. (80/20—that’s a thing. And not just a thing; it’s a natural law. Just 20 percent of what you do or spend generates 80 percent of your revenue. Don’t get too happy, though, because the other 80 percent of what you spend generates just 20 percent of your revenue.
