Quick wins in organizations: a systematic review
Article Sidebar
Main Article Content
Abstract
Quick wins are the immediate results that the organization needs in the execution of projects; since, they are that visible improvement that can be developed quickly and with immediate benefit; its impact is not long-term, but it is seen by everyone as important to the organization. They work with few resources and should not be given in a time greater than 60 or 90 days. A systematic review is presented in which it is indicated that Springer was the database that returned the most related titles; It is evident that the United States was the country from which more studies were proposed and the year 2017 in which the greatest results were presented. This strategy stands out in the areas of productivity, health and information technology, and it requires an adequate dexterity of managers to make use of certain alerts already raised by experiences, so as not to fall into the so-called “rapid failures”.
