THE SUPERFIT COMPANY

If your company has a transformation ahead of it - or one stalling right now - read this book before you spend another dollar on it.

Most industrial transformations fail slowly. Boards approve them, budgets fund them, consultants launch them - and eighteen months later everything is seventy percent done and nothing is finished. Every CEO has lived a version of this story. Few can say exactly why it happens. Fewer still know what to do instead.

The Superfit Company is that answer: a field manual for leaders who need transformation to actually deliver, written not by a theorist but by an operator who spent three decades running industrial businesses on three continents. Yannick Schilly took a newly acquired plant in China from formal environmental sanction to corporate benchmark in twenty-four months - and to ten times its output in five years, with substantially the same workforce. The methods in this book are the ones that did it.

In these pages you will learn why the two familiar speeds of transformation - the slash-and-burn turnaround and the five-year journey - both fail, and what the third speed looks like. How to structure change so the first measurable results land within months, each success funding the next. The single question that reveals whether your current program is alive or quietly dying. And how to face AI, tariffs, and supply-chain upheaval without betting your future on technology every competitor can buy. Above all: how to build an organization that gets stronger with every transformation it runs - because in this era, the winners never stop.

With a foreword by Serge Joris and endorsements from industrial CEOs, board members, deans, and transformation leaders on three continents. For CEOs, boards, and senior operators who suspect their company's next decade depends less on what it buys than on what it becomes.
