Corporate & Government

In an era of increasing compliance requirements, a more turbulent economy and greater competition, simpler business techniques offer the opportunity to offset these difficulties. Since 1996 a number of government departments, government-owned corporations, government-sponsored community organizations and even individual political candidate election campaigns have used some of the simpler business principles and techniques to focus activities and improve performance.

The techniques to remove complexity and introduce simplicity in large companies and government businesses are much the same as in medium sized businesses. Our preferred approach for sustainable simplification in large businesses is to accredit and license the business to implement the techniques inside the organization. This includes training/coaching key executives and managers to make simplicity a virtue and to give them the confidence to do it themselves - simplification is much more effective when it starts from the top.

Contact the Simpler Business Institute if you'd like help in applying our Principles and Tools to the following types of issues in a large corporation or government business:

  • Simpler business processes to help existing staff achieve their outcomes more easily and with less stress
  • Reduced red tape delays by simplifying processes to achieve timely throughput with the same staff
  • Business units clearly focused on providing exceptional value to their customers
  • Greater customer satisfaction for all types of customers (internal, ministers, community, business)
  • Higher customer and community value by stopping non-customer-value-adding activities
  • Tools to allow employees to reach agreement on priorities more easily.
  • Reducing 50 page plans to 5 pages
  • Planning to do fewer things but actually achieving better outcomes
  • Reducing the costly complexity of organization structures and interfaces
  • Using the 80/20 Principle to simplify change management to better handle changing community expectations
  • Achieving much more effective and efficient links between government units.
  • Simplifying business continuity systems and management
  • Commercializing government business activities
  • Removing the costs of middle & upper management adding complexity to protect their positions
  • More effective planning & implementation of plans by reducing costly, unnecessary documentation
  • Greater transparency of information via simpler documentation
  • Reduced document complexity leading to reduced time spent reading, understanding and meeting
  • Greater impact of technology on efficiencies by always simplifying before automating.

'JoJo was sobbing,' a source told Us Weekly. 'She told him, “I wanted it to be you.”' The insider added: 'It was important to JoJo that the guys get her parents’ permission before proposing. JoJo viewed it as disrespectful that he didn’t.' Us Weekly claims that JoJo's family liked both of the finalists, but thought that the man she eventually picks was better suited to her.

Aaron finally addressed his younger brother speaking about their fraught relationship on the show during an interview with WISN on Tuesday. 'As far as those kinds of things go, I've always found that it's a little inappropriate to talk publicly about some family matters, so I'm not going to speak on those things,' he said. 'But I wish him well in the competition.'
