Team and Organizational leaders who want to uncover the root causes of complexity and commit to simplicity principles to drive a culture of simplification

Workshop overview

When complexity becomes the norm, clarity and efficiency suffer. In this dynamic session, participants will explore how everyday work becomes unnecessarily complicated—and why simplification is a powerful, strategic advantage. Through focused group activities and reflection, teams will identify time-consuming tasks, surface what truly adds value, and begin to map their work using a time/value matrix. Together, they’ll uncover the hidden drivers of complexity—both structural and behavioral—and examine how individual actions contribute to organizational friction.
