Jean-Claude Larreché has thoroughly studied the engines of growth that enable firms to create superior value over time. He thinks that a combination of marketing excellence, customer focus and innovation create a momentum effect that self-fuels these engines. However, the momentum is dynamic and the magic lies in being able to nurture its drivers. In this book, the author presents the concept and the strategy to reach it. He then moves forward to examine the eight steps of the process and finally focuses his attention on the leadership competences required to successfully implement and maintain it.
