A scientific and human way to lead complexity.

Company story

The practice grew from a rare blend of Deming's philosophy, Theory of Constraints, physics, mathematics, software and the humanities.

Our team has been together for a very long time, and our competencies span from theoretical physics to contemporary literature. We have produced our results by leveraging our talents as physicists, mathematicians, computer scientists and writers, and our human-centered approach permeates everything we do. Our love for science enabled us to combine the work of W. Edwards Deming and the Theory of Constraints into a cohesive whole. Our strong European roots connect us with centuries of reasoning and art while our new found land, Canada, provides wide open spaces for innovative thinking and action.

• ->Founded around systemic management
• ->Built through continuous feedback from implementations in the field
• ->Focused on leadership team transformation

Mission

We work alongside leaders to replace fragmented local optimization with a coherent operating system for sustainable growth.

• ->Make interdependencies visible
• ->Choose the strategic leverage point
• ->Synchronize strategy, projects and people

Founders and leadership

The team has developed and implemented the Decalogue methodology with leadership teams internationally since 1996. The approach has been published in several books with leading publishers including Springer, CRC Press and Routledge.

• ->Connecting rigorous theory with effective practice
• ->Leadership education in systemic decision-making
• ->Ongoing implementation support

Philosophy and scientific method

The work is grounded in hard science, systemic thinking, understanding the management of variation and constraints, accelerating flow and the belief that people contribute best when the system enables them.

• ->System over silos
• ->Flow over busyness
• ->Learning over blame
