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. Our limited partner direct ownership blog discusses the benefits of making direct investments and improving the effectiveness and efficiency of your own organization and its investment returns.

Legacy planning & heir training

It’s tough and scary to be a good parent and role model, but it’s even harder after you’re gone. That’s when legacy planning and heir training come into play. Unfortunately as heirs we’ve personally experienced the disastrous consequences of both not being done. Our legacy and heir training blogs detail the systemic application of our organizational knowledge to successful legacy planning and heir training.
