As organizations grow and age, they develop bureaucratic elements that, if left unchecked, will grow like tumors, draining resources from the organization’s core missions.

Since Students for Fair Admissions vs. Harvard, DEI departments have become a legal risk. Moreover, their tendency to become hotbeds of bigotry risks poisoning consumer sentiment.

We help organizations identify and remove bureaucratic growths that are not aligned with the organization’s mission, but rather oriented around self-perpetuation.

Reviews for The Pragmatist’s Guide to Governance, our Wall-Street-Journal-bestselling book on governance

“Incredibly useful”

This book was not just a survey of governance models, but included a series of insights that I had not come across just yet. If you are in the governance space, you need to get this book. If you work in a DAO, you need to get this book. If you buy crypto and wonder how the heck those people make decisions, you should get this book. And. If the everyday politics of your church, job, rotary club, local council drives you nuts, you should get this book.

“Takes on ‘how’ questions”

It’s easy to theorize but something else entirely to get down and dirty on questions of how we might better govern and lead. The Collins never fall into the mistake of presenting ideas without a plan of action, and I always find their thinking innovative, surprising, and applicable. Highly suggested work!

“Extremely tactical”

Without giving up too much information, there’s a section in the book which covers how to capture institutional knowledge and setting up effective delegation. I was able to dive into this principle and support some of my colleagues based off the teachings… For those looking for the perfect mixture of education and guidance, The Pragmatist Guide to Governance delivers.
