The Philosophy
Addition by subtraction.
Organizations default to adding. New initiative, new report, new meeting, new training — all well-intentioned, all piled on top of what came before. Nobody's job is to remove.
It usually starts with a solution in search of a problem. A bloated organization begins solving problems that aren't its to solve, providing oversight because it can rather than because it's strategic. So we start with the problem, ask whether it's ours, and ask whether it needs solving at all. We don't try to solve every problem.
This project makes removal somebody's job. Because every hour our teams spend on admin burden that doesn't serve the mission is an hour not spent on the mission itself. That math compounds — across thousands of people, over years.
If you're reading this and thinking of something that wastes time and doesn't clearly serve the mission — submit it. The worst case is we look at it and decide to keep it. The best case is we free up a piece of your week.
