Become the Winning Company
You Were Born To Be
Executives need to:
- Increase revenues
- Enhance competitive advantage
- Disrupt or avoid disruption
So, to get more traction you try:
- Strategic Planning
- Culture Change
- Restructuring
- New processes and systems
- Training and coaching
- Consultants
. . . and even a therapist
Yet for some reason results still fall short.
Why? Failed changes are sabotaged by:
- Change Resistance
- Ego-driven Agendas
- Lack of Accountabilty and Trust
- Dishonoring of Values
- Politics and Silos
- Fear and Anxiety
- Poor Manager Engagement
- CYA, Infighting, Blaming
- Slow Decisiveness
- Employee Cynicism
Resulting in lost traction on sales, profits, and customer satisfaction.
You're not alone.
Research shows 70-90% of management theories don't work
And what happened to those Great Companies in all the bestselling books?
They fell swiftly despite hiring the best "experts", consultants, and thought-leaders.
I know. It sucks.
. . . but what if you started thinking differently?
I do autopsies.
Instead of studying successful companies,
I study the dead.
Evolutionary psychology, genetics, anthropology, and neurology unearthed methods to transform strategic development and leadership execution.
These are the solutions we provide.
Hi. I'm Don Schmincke
How did I end up researching management theory failure rates, and transforming strategic planning and culture change?
No idea. As an MIT and Johns Hopkins researcher, the journey was nonlinear. I was nearly arrested as a capitalist spy in the Soviet Bloc, got shot off an aircraft carrier, survived in the Kurdish capital as Tehran held hostages, was the first white person allowed into an African Tsonga village, explored religious integration in Vietnamese mountain tribes, developed missile-guidance systems while my frat brothers took Vegas (later portrayed in the movie “21”), and was caught taking my kids to a North Korean DMZ minefield. (Bad dad!)
But my background in planetary physics, AI, biomedical engineering, helped me learn from many global expeditions to discover how humans group for work, play, reproduction, civilization, and war.
That's how we invented the winning formula system.
