    It's time to reinvent business. The discipline of management as we know it was invented 100 years ago, and while every effective in and for its time, is hopelessly obsolete today. Our understanding of how the universe works has pointed our understanding in a new direction: self-managing organizations where there is no structural limit on the ability of individuals to achieve. Designing self-managing companies requires a complete reassessment of every artifact of traditional management.

About Me

Serial entrepreneur, since 1980 focused on strategic planning work with entrepreneurs. Over the past twenty years, developed a methodology for designing companies that largely run themselves freeing up about 90% of the CEO's bandwidth. Author of The End of Management, Have More Time, Make More Money and Have More Fun by Creating a Company That Runs Itself. Also a background in direct marketing, been selling on the internet since 1999 and currently own a video production, marketing and publishing company.

If you are an entrepreneur wondering why you are still working for your company rather than it working for you, or if you'd like your company to run itself while you get to spend time with your family and personal pursuits, drop me a note.
