Doug has spirit of independence, born in childhood and engrained early in their careers. 

Doug left home at a very young age, his reason being that he wanted a better life from his somewhat dysfunctional childhood. His entire careers had both been built on a sense of purpose and generosity.

For years, we have watched companies battle with this addiction to complexity. I am tired of watch that happen to good companies!  So, we are doing something about it,

We believe the most undervalued leadership competency is simplicity.  We are bringing the world’s first organizational simplicity movement to the market. Organizational simplicity is a 21st century discipline, which includes re-engineering the company’s core beliefs, zero basing strategy and structure. This blueprint becomes real when the entire organization is devoted to the core beliefs and passionately enrolled.

“When a client sees that the complexity they’ve been operating with is completely unnecessary, it is the absolute best moment for us,” “That’s when the real fun starts!”

We have six crucial values at the center of everything we do:

  • Purpose – Simplicity is more valuable than complexity.
  • Creation – Find the essence.
  • Justice – Defend what’s right.
  • Truth – Don’t hold back.
  • Fairness – See value in everyone.
  • Generosity – If you’ve got it, give it.
