Next practicesfar beyond best practices

See the three Phases

The services MORe offers are based on extensive research and empirical observations that prove most organizations are burdened by excess. An endless and myopic drive for more (products, customers, technologies, profit, etc.) has bloated most organizations to the point where they have become their own worst enemy, causing the very outcome (poor performance) they are trying to avoid. This way of thinking and acting has led organizations to become overly:

Complex, difficult to understand, navigate, and improve.

Fragmented, by hierarchical levels, departmental silos, products, geographies, divisions.

Inflexible, requiring senior escalation or large teams for simple adjustments.

Mechanistic, overly prescriptive technologies and processes that kill value creation and innovation.

Toxic, driving employee engagement down to dangerous levels.

Sluggish, slow to respond to needed changes as the world around them evolves.

These problems of excess, introduced by a singular focus on more, are exactly what MORe seeks to resolve. To create MORe by doing less, you must eliminate excess, help employees heal, and align the entire organization to think and act like one. Improved employee engagement drives better strategic execution and value creation that increases customer satisfaction and overall performance.

MORe services are highly effective in:

  • Existing organizations — who need to remove excess and achieve sustainable resilience
  • Start-ups — in the early growth stage before they layer on excess
  • Mergers & acquisitions (M&A) — to maximize integration success and synergies
  • 5.0 Initiatives — Industry 5.0, Management 5.0, Society 5.0, Circular Economy 5.0

MORe services are not best practices (i.e., what everyone else is already doing). They are next practices, representing an entirely new way of thinking and practicing management and organization. The services MORe offers address accumulated excess to help organizations achieve streamlined efficiency and resilience via reduced complexity, fragmentation, rigidity, toxicity, and more.
