“Too few of today’s enterprises get this powerful message…Articulate, eminently practical…Read and study this book, and you and your team will reap the benefits of the end of office politics.”

– Thomas L. Doorley, III, Chairman, CEO, Sage Partners

“The End of Office Politics as Usual is the first book to look at office politics as a serious business issue that must be addressed before any major investment – in innovation, reengineering, or technology – can be a success. Larry Serven gives us a roadmap for preparing an enterprise to create the future.”

– Terry Ribb, Global Innovation Team, Deloitte Consulting Team

“Serven demystifies shareholder value creation and provides a pragmatic, actionable guidebook for executives. Value Planning’s step-by-step management system focuses business planning on delivering, not just predicting results. The book’s self-diagnostic measures should prove especially useful in charting and assessing organizational progress.” -Henry A. McKinnell CEO, Pfizer Inc.

High praise indeed. The CFO of Wal-Mart added “Value Planning addresses today’s number one management issue – building a value management system-and provides a systematic approach with clear guidance that will be helpful to any company in creating shareholder value.”
