Organizational development
Our organizational development blogs discuss the various aspects of building and managing organizations small and large with an emphasis on repeatable successful processes. We also address current news and market trends through the lens of our key organizational frameworks.
Management & leadership
Most of us, ourselves included, aren’t great at managing people. With that in mind, we emphasize straightforward proven practices versus the latest and greatest management theories that sound compelling but have limited third-party empirical authentication.
Strategy
Most strategy content is confusing with lots of jargon. Our strategy blogs provide jargon free knowledge and tools to answer two key strategic questions: Am I different than my competition and do my customers care?
Accounting & finance
We think of accounting as the words of business and finance as the sentences. Our accounting and finance blogs detail the targeted knowledge, key measures and the role of time in assessing and predicting financial results quickly and accurately.
Capital
Our capital blogs articulate the underlying skills and organizational building blocks required to successfully raise third party capital or exit your business.
Ownership skills
If you share in the residual interests, or profits, of your organization, you have a distinctly different set of incentives and constraints in your decisions than someone who doesn’t. You also need a complimentary set of skills. Our ownership skills blog focuses on the integrated knowledge and skills you need when you’re an owner.
Knowledge & decisions
Our knowledge and decisions blogs integrate our research and practical application of knowledge and decisions in three key categories: managing yourself, interacting with others and the broad and varied formal and informal systems we participate in including our personal relationships, professions, communities and society.
Inner OptimizationSM & Intrapersonal TensegritySM

Direct ownership
General partner fund investing is expensive with general partners getting the majority of gross versus net returns.
